“Me come to collect a package,” masked man says as he illegally enters Port at 2:45 a.m
A masked man has reportedly walked into the Antigua Port Authority taking several packages from a specific barrel, then disappearing into thin air.
Two security guards at the Port told police that at around 2:45 a.m yesterday, the perpetrator who was a slim male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a black mask, long black pants, and a grey long-sleeved hooded shirt entered the premises illegally
One of the officers said he shouted to the masked man what was he doing on the compound.
“Me come to collect a package “the masked man replied, continuing to walk in a south-easterly direction until the security lost sight of him.
A search was carried out in the area for anyone fitting the description without success.
Police say having viewed the surveillance cameras at the Port Warehouse they observed a masked man using two pieces of 2×4 lumber to pry open the mentioned door.
Having done so the intruder entered the said warehouse and reportedly stole several packages from a barrel that was located in the western section of the said warehouse.
Police say after further examination of the said compound they saw where some unknown person apparently used a sharp cutting tool to cut out a section of the eastern perimeter fencing to gain entry onto the compound.
The perpetrator then reportedly used force to pry open door No. 9 of the Warehouse and stole the mentioned packages from a barrel.
The exit was made via point of entry and a search was carried out in the surrounding areas for persons fitting the description without success.
The value of the stolen items is yet to be ascertained.
