Vault missing from RHA office

A vault containing an undisclosed sum of money was taken from the Tobago Regional Health Authority (TRHA) head office at Smithfield Road, Scarborough, sometime over the Emancipation weekend.

The vault was discovered missing by one of the office’s caretakers yesterday morning when she went to open the office and noticed that one of the doors was opened. Newsday learnt that this was not the first time a theft has occurred since they had moved to the new location about three months ago. The items included a computer and other “small” items. TRHA officials have estimated that the money in the vault was not in “the thousands” however, they indicated that they were unable to disclose more information about the incident. “We don’t want to assume too much until the police has given its word just in case we jepoardise the investigation,” TRHA’s spokesman Michael Stewart told Newsday. Officers attached to the Scarbor-ough CID are currently interviewing several persons in connection with the missing vault and are continuing investigations.
