Former deputy DPP’s home ransacked

POLICE believe a group of bandits merrily ate and drank their fill before stealing items worth $25,000 from the St James home of former deputy Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Anthony Carmona. According to police reports, the break-in occurred sometime in mid-December and was only recently discovered by a close relative of Carmona. The report said several fingerprints were retrieved from the crime scene and police suspect that the perpetrators helped themselves to food and drink in Carmona’s home before making off with several household items. Carmona nor his wife Rima were home at the time of the incident. The former deputy DPP took up prosecutor’s post with the International Court of Justice in The Hague in January 2001. Police investigations are continuing.
