Police are investigating a string of break-ins at shops in the city after several business owners reported losses over the past two days.
Two clothing stores on Market Street were hit sometime between September 15 and 16, with thieves making off with shoes, clothing, and cash. Investigators say both establishments were broken into overnight, but the culprits left no immediate trace.
Over on Popeshead Street, another store owner told police that when she arrived to open her shop around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, she discovered the premises had been ransacked. An undisclosed amount of money, along with blunts, RAW papers, and other items, had been stolen.
Law enforcement officials are appealing to the public for help in tracking down those responsible. They’re urging anyone with information to call the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or share tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS (8477).
These guys getting desperate,robbing people just trying to make a living.Thou shall not steal I’ll leave them in the hands of God
Not just in the hands of God….it’s the hands fo justice with a public flogging
*Can’t help but wonder if “Love-ill’s” emergence from the sewer has a direct bearing on the increased criminal activity in Antigua. It seems that Nunez is also in the running for an Emmy award on the ongoing saga of highway robberies in Antigua! They better stop. Retribution is not kind
So there’s no cameras or security around that area?..The officers need to check every angle they can if they haven’t already.
Rusty will go to jail and come back and do the same thing until he dies. We hope he changes
Isn’t there a way we can help these people? Come on. Too many of these people wasting tiem
Are there no cameras or alarm systems at these businesses?
Sounds like some sort of organized crime ring to me
St. John’s turning into a free-for-all for criminals. Time for stronger patrols and real consequences.
