Police have launched an investigation after a nine-year-old girl’s mobile phone was reported stolen in the city on Monday afternoon.
According to reports, the child was in St. John’s around 1:00 p.m. when she lent her Samsung A51 smartphone to a cousin to make a call. However, the device was never returned.
The matter was reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (C.I.D), where officers conducted a search for the alleged offender but were unsuccessful.
The phone, valued at approximately $1,200 Eastern Caribbean dollars, remains missing as the investigation continues.
What she doing with phone? Chupz
This is not the topic you to blasted fast.
Given the world we live in, your question only sounds like hate! I’d give my new born a phone just to stay in contact. It’s no longer a safe world and we must stay in contact with our kids… but you wouldn’t know that. Cheap thing……
Even the kids are being robbed? Stealing a phone from a nine year old? Are there no level of protection rn?
Poor child that must be so upsetting. Hope the phone is found soon.
Aunty or uncle would have to buy my child phone back
Give the person back their phone.
That’s why obeah will never stop. They should make that thief walk on it head!
Don’t you worry! Karma will bite you in your rasss!
As a mother, this story really breaks my heart. A nine-year-old child should be able to trust her own family, yet here we are reading about a case where that trust was taken advantage of. It’s not just about a phone it’s about teaching our children lessons on responsibility, honesty, and the painful reality that not everyone, even those close to us, will always do right by them.
I can only imagine how confused and hurt that little girl must feel. For a child, losing something so personal, especially a phone filled with photos, games, or messages, can be devastating. It’s not just a gadget; it’s a piece of their small world.
This should also serve as a wake-up call for parents and guardians. We need to have more open conversations with our children about lending their belongings, setting boundaries, and what to do when situations like this arise. I hope the police handle this with sensitivity and that the phone is recovered, but more than anything, I hope the child regains her sense of trust and security.
It’s sad that something so small can reveal such a big issue in our society the erosion of accountability and respect within families.
These days people don’t like to work hard to buy what they want. Instead they thief. God is watching.
So what the child saying about the phone. What she say that happen to it?
The phone wasnt stolen..her cousin has it
A tough lesson in trust for such a young child, hopefully the investigation helps resolve it quickly, and serves as a reminder that even among family, it’s wise to be cautious with personal belongings.
Waw. Hope she gets it back
