Sangre Grande, Trinidad and Tobago: Law enforcement in Sangre Grande apprehended a 39-year-old suspect believed to be responsible for two cases of sacrilege and shop breaking and larceny.
The suspect, currently in police custody, was taken in by officers from the Sangre Grande Criminal Investigations Department (CID) after thoroughly investigating incidents involving theft from a local church and a business establishment.
The events unfolded on November 24th when a business owner in Sangre Grande made a disconcerting discovery upon returning to her establishment at 7 am. The main entrance burglar-proof lock was missing, and the door stood ajar.
Items missing from the salon included an array of shampoos, conditioners, hair gels, weaves, and eyelashes.
The owner, who had diligently secured the premises the previous evening, reported to the police that she had granted no one permission to access or remove the missing items.
Shortly thereafter, at 7:45 am on the same day, another woman reported a similar incident at a local church in Sangre Grande.
The main entrance door lock had been tampered with, and upon entering the premises, she discovered the theft of two speaker boxes, two microphone systems, a musical mixing board, a vocal receptor, and a gas tank.
As with the first case, the owner denied giving permission for anyone to enter the church premises or take any of the missing items.
Promptly responding to the reports, the police, led by PC Salickram, initiated investigations into the incidents.
The subsequent efforts of CID detectives and officers from the Eastern Division Task Force culminated in the execution of a search warrant at the residence of the 39-year-old suspect.
The search proved fruitful, as officers allegedly found and seized the stolen items.
All of the pilfered goods, including the hair care products and salon accessories, as well as the electronic equipment and gas tank from the church, are now in police possession.
The suspect is currently under detention and is anticipated to face charges related to the sacrilege and theft cases pending further investigations.
This rapid resolution underscores the efficiency and diligence of the Sangre Grande law enforcement authorities in maintaining public safety and swiftly addressing criminal activities within the community.
As the legal process unfolds, residents can find assurance in the commitment of local law enforcement to uphold the security and well-being of the Sangre Grande district.
