Burglars hit Courts

According to reports, at about 1.30 am, the burglars used a piece of metal to break into the store on the eastern side of the building.

They removed electronic items including laptops and escaped.

Losses were put at over $60,000.

A passer-by who saw the broken window alerted the St James police, but by the time officers arrived the burglars were long gone.

Investigators were able to secure surveillance footage from CCTV cameras at the store. Yesterday head of the Western Division Senior Superintendent Basdeo Ramdhanie said the police were working on several leads and arrests were imminent. He warned the public it is an offence to purchase stolen items and added that a team of investigators were working around the clock to solve this crime.
