      Well, they did say an adult male. We are yet to know if the 16 Year Old was apart of the theft. Or the man just told him he’s driving his friend car. Can’t get to the conclusion so fast, the story just begin

    Antigua never changes. We need more police on patrol to stop some shit. Too many times vehicles are being stolen from people and it’s about time that stop.
