Cops recover stolen goods, detain two for burglary

It was a serious burglary… but the story has a happy ending as city police recovered the goods…and made a collar. News Five’s Jacqueline Woods has more.

Chester Williams, Officer Commanding, C.I.B.
?From our investigation, the burglars gained entry into the store by breaking the locks off the shutters and that is how they entered into the store.?

Jacqueline Woods, Reporting
Sometime between midnight on Sunday and early Monday morning a number of persons broke into Rekha?s Store at number sixteen King Street and stole items valued at fifteen thousand dollars.

?Naturally it will affect us and our happiness also. But just as we have to struggle and we have to just come back into shape again. So hopefully we will get back in shape, that?s it.?

An intensive police investigation not only led to some quick arrest, but the recovery of many of the stolen items that include clothing, shoes, hangers, and other goods.

?I must give compliment to the police officer from patrol branch who were on duty that night. They found the place burglarised and shortly thereafter they followed up on a tip which led them to the area of Gabourel Lane. At Gabourel Lane at a residence some of the items were recovered and two persons were detained in connection with the burglary. We continued the investigation and this morning we recovered another large amount of items and have detained another three persons in connection with this burglary.?

So far two persons have been arrested and charged. Jacqueline Woods for News Five.

Police have arrested forty year old Francisco Santos and thirty-one year old Kevin Kelly. Both have been charged with burglary and handling stolen property. Prakash Lalwani thanks the police for their quick work that led to the recovery of his items.
