BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - HAVING arrested three individuals in relation to a number of break-ins, the Police are in the process of ascertaining the number of incidents that the trio is responsible for.
A press release issued by the Police this afternoon (Jan. 31) explained that the three were taken into custody relative to house break-ins and larcenies in the Frigate Bay area.
SKNVibes understands that they are also being held in connection with the Calypso Bay break-ins which took place late last week.
The release informs that a number of police and other security units were involved in the operation which led to the men’s arrest and the seizure of a number of electronic items.
“The arrest was made possible by the assistance of area residents, good investigations by Officers of the Frigate Bay Police Station, the Forensic Services Unit, the K-9 Unit and assistance from the Defence Force and the Ross University Security Department…A number of electronic items were recovered by the Police.”
Commander for the A Division Superintendent Cromwell Henry is quoted in the press release as offering commendation to both the security forces and the public for their assistance.
“I want to commend our Officers, the Defence Force Officers and the Ross University Security team for their efforts… It must be noted that it was the assistance of residents that paid off. They came forward and provided whatever information they had.
“Some of the information was mundane, and by itself did not stand out, it was when put with other pieces a 'clearer picture' came forth, and we were able to make the arrest. This goes to show that by having a good Police and Community engagement, we can make a difference.”
It is expected that the men would be charged accordingly.
