Nothing stolen in Scotiabank break-in

Scotiabank St James, like banks across the country, was closed for the weekend and remained closed until Tuesday, while Tropical Storm Bret rained down on the country. Yesterday, when employees re-opened the bank, they realised that the bank had been broken into, and called the police.

From as early as 7 am, police could be seen processing the scene at Scotiabank St James, located on the St James Main Road and Bengal Street. Investigators told Newsday yesterday that the would-be bandits broke in from the roof of the building, and attempted to access the ATM and the vault of the bank, but were unsuccessful.

Police are still trying to ascertain what exact day the break-in occurred but are working on the theory that the culprits used the storm to cover their entry into the building.

The bank, ATM and its insurance office, also located at the bank, remained closed for another day, as police and security forces conducted investigations.
