Cops recover stolen ACs

QUICK RESPONSE by officers of the Chaguanas CID led to the recovery of six stolen air-condition units and the arrest of a 16-year-old schoolboy and his 21-year-old accomplice. Last Thursday, Herbert Phillip, owner of West Indian Logistics Limited, located at Main Road, Enterprise, secured his business place and went away. On Friday, he discovered the six units valued at $30,000 missing. He made a report to the Chaguanas CID and officers led by Crime Inspector Hubert Kirk, Ag Sgt Ajith Persad and including PCs Sheppard, Joseph and King responded.

Acting on a tip-off, the officers executed a search warrant at Chase Village and recovered four of the six air condition units. They then went to another house at Enterprise Village where they recovered the other two units. The owner of the units was high in praise of the quick response of the police that led to the recovery of the stolen items. The two will appear before a Chaguanas magistrate today.
