BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – ANOTHER man was recently arrested and charged for breaking into TechSperts Store on Liverpool Row, Basseterre from where he allegedly stole a number of items.
According to Inspector Charles Smithen, head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Terrance ‘Donkey’ Casey of Shear Lane, Basseterre was charged with building breaking and larceny.
“On February 28, 2012, Casey was spotted by a patrolling unit in the public market area and police officers of the Criminal Investigation Department set chase after him on foot and eventually cornered and captured him,” Smithen said.
Inspector Smithen also said that Casey was charged for stealing goods to the tune of EC$55 525.18 from TechSperts and an additional charge for stealing a number of items from Lucky Cosmetics sometime in the past.
SKNVibes learnt that on the morning of Friday, February 3, 2012, employees of TechSperts Store arrived at work and found the building broken into.
