Jewel thieves getting away

THE EDITOR: I will like to know what the Prime Minister and the Government of Trinidad and Tobago are doing about the growing number of “jewel thieves” in the country. Every time you read the newspapers, jewel thieves are getting away with other people’s hard work and labour, and nothing is being done about it.

You are wasting your time going to the police, because if you are not related to, or having an affair with an officer, nothing will be done. These thieves can go to pawn shops and get money for your jewellery, and these places will not reveal the names of the people even if you know who the person or persons are. When you read the newspapers of having a sale of pawned jewellery, makes you wonder if your stolen diamonds and gold are amongst them.
