Police are carrying out investigations into an alleged burglary and the theft of motor vehicles, known as ‘taking conveyance.’
According to police PRO, Acting Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste, one vehicle, a Toyota RAV 4 (registration number TL706), was stolen from Courtesy Car Rental on Monday, March 21 between 1:00 am and 5:00 pm, by individuals who abandoned it near the Massacre Primary School at Check Hall.
They then proceeded to cut the wire fencing of the Highway Auto Centre, also at Check Hall, broke into the office where they took keys to two motor vehicles, a Mitsubishi Pajero (registration number TJ167) and one grey Honda HRV (registration number TL706), belonging to Road Runner Rentals.
“A number of other items including a Lenovo laptop and a pair of eye glasses were also stolen,” Jno Baptiste said.
The Grey Honda HRV was recovered later the same day at Giraudel.
“TL706 and TJ962 are being processed by the Crime Scene Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department,” he noted.
Investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information who can assist the police in the investigations can contact the Criminal Investigations Department at telephone numbers 266-5164, 266-5165 and 266-5119 or Crime Stoppers Dominica at telephone number 1-800-8477.
The thieves are abundant and way ahead of the police. All very rarely brought to justice and so it just continues and grows more rampant. There is a definite attitude problem with many DA males… the attitude of entitlement to other peoples’ property. Somebody didn’t raise these boys right or at all for that matter.
Very shameful. Can’t believe that
That’s just the beginning. Later will be greater. Just be patient. Poor ppl children fed up.
Please, bring back inspector Claude Weekes. Why did they have to replace him with a Dalek?
Hi Me, the guy you refer to as a Dalek, he is someone’s son, brother, uncle, husband and father. He is a former National Cricketer, a great composer and writer, the best drummer in DA, a police officer for almost 28 years, holds many awards for his work. He is a Dalek that has served his country honestly and with total commitment. Weekes had his time he has to move on and so you and others like you can never take Pellam down. He will continue to move up.. so says Jehovah. So stay where you are and eat your heart out. Like Weekes did, over time, Pellam will improve in time give the damn guy a break. You all acting like is money he getting for the work of PRO. Weekes replaced someone when he was appointed as PRO no one cried for the person he replaced, so now he is replaced and one day Pellam will be replaced move on. fool.
Police, it is important that you ensure you take fingerprints of the items. Some old/cold cases are solved and the perpetrators are brought to Court because of fingerprints and DNA.
The public assumes that the items were stolen. You keep on breaking and entering and stealing. You are heaping hot, burning coals on your head(s).
Some people will steal anything. They may be blind and cannot read without eyeglasses. Did you forget your eyeglasses at your home?
So who are they who would also steal a pair of eye glasses? Do you know the owner and staff? By stealing it you think the owner will be blind and not able to see and read?
Fool(s)! God has your number. He knows who you are. You cannot hide from him The day of punishment is coming for you. It is just a matter of time.
Very true I just love what u have said
while this is not only for one set of people what about Mr. Gon Emmanuel and wife are they not human beings, those people who burn the house and Car of the 2 elderly citizen in goodwill God has their number too and he also knows who they are too, and they also can’t hide from him, that is true the day of reckoning will soon come and it is there for all of us Just read Proverbs chapter 15 and vers 3, so those who attempted murder on the elderly citizens life better come forward so that an administration can crumble down!

How can we do that when we can’t even trust the police to keep victims statements safe? Next thing the criminals know is you and your whole family at risk. I hate to say it but we no longer trust the police.
Always Assertive!
You are talking nonsense. No need to make an issue out of it. If you feel uncomfortable talking to the police, then call Crime Stoppers. It is as simple as that. This is why the Police has asked to call Crime Stoppers. You know you are not asked your name.
Did you read about crime stoppers? Idle brain is the devil’s workshop
What eats me is not one of you cowards can face Pellam in person and speak that crap to his face… none of you Jokers can do that… continue to hide behind the DNO Page.
Ccctv instalation is the way forward
Come on private sector…. u all want government yo invest in it for u all
its beyond alleged…. its a fact … stupes
Why is the police asking to call crime stoppers. Police claims they had a guy under arrest In salisbury police station for alleged burglary and shooting, he escaped as they claim, since then persons are calling to tell the police where he is they yet to appear. So why call crime stoppers for any case ? If he escaped why didn’t it make news and why are they not looking for him.
So TL706 was stolen from Courtesy and Road Runner Rental? And the vehicle is both a RAV and HRV?
We want freeness, we want freeness, we want freeness.
Feed us skerrit, re-open de red clinic, we doh want to work hard, we want to live of those who working.
Isn’t that the truth.
DNO, how the RAV 4, taken from Courtesy Car Rental and the Grey Honda HRV taken from Road Runner Rentals bear the same number nuh? TL 706. According to your report
Place getting hot!!!! Ghetto youths gone on a mission!! No law no constitution can stop ghetto youths
lol
and the cops have no resources to investigate properly. Ministers bank accounts loaded tho. The country moving. And that is all.
Every time police have a drug bust burglaries start back…chain reaction
These days everything is alleged.
Of course bro. We have an alleged police, and alleged judicial system, alleged drugs and it is even alleged we have a Prime Minister…yes, that man that use to have dimples and visits us from time to time.
Utilize your common sense if you have one. It is alleged until it is proven that they were stolen.
How you gonna still somebody glasses? R-I-P Dominica
Is the frame they like bro., since glasses became a fashion item. You can always have them install new lenses. Is everything these malkassay steal, even old cars for their parts because these things are so expensive here with that damned import duty.
the word is steal.
Steel, still, or steal, You get my point… Stop trying to play smart over the net.
I get your point. El Guapo. You are satisfied with mediocrity.
Ye true its impossible to STILL someone glasses. But maybe they wanted the fancy frame so they had to “STEAL” it?
El Guapo, you make a lot of mistakes. Can you not speak and spell English?
“steal”
