PRESS RELEASE
St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda — Wednesday, May 14, 2025
The Police Administration is concerned about the increasing number of vehicle thefts reported in recent times.
This criminal act not only threatens public safety but also highlights the importance of motorists adopting safer security practices. Investigations have also revealed that in several instances, vehicles were left unattended with engines running, a practice that the police continuously discourage among drivers.
Motorists are therefore urged to take the following precautions to further minimize the risk of vehicle theft:
Ensure that you switch off your engine and remove the keys from the ignition when exiting your vehicle.
Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked.
Avoid leaving valuable items inside your vehicle in plain view of the public.
Always park in secure and well-lit areas.
The police remain committed to investigating these incidents and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Anyone with information that can assist the police in their investigations is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or 462-3914, or call the anonymous Crimestoppers hotline at 800-TIPS (8477).
All information will be treated confidentially.

Most of the time it’s carelessness on the owners part why these vehicles get stolen
Police is always late with their alerts. I read this here last week
Here we go again! The ” Police Administration is concerned…..” Where is the official statement from the Commissioner and other relevant personnel. It’s just Antigua News role in the ongoing smear campaign against my beloved Country. I prefer to hear from the legitimate authorities on matters like this than from a mere news peddler.
Faithful National I saw this press release on the police Facebook page. Also on ABS. I am believing that It may have been a PRESS RELEASE as stated by everyone else. Lol clearly your issue is with this news peddling outlet….Yet you are always here. Click !!
Alot of the times veheicle go missing, is due to the negligence from the driver most of the times.
These people are more and more brazen
