CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC—Investigations continue following a report of a break-in at the House of Parliament on Saturday morning. According to police reports, an ancillary staff member discovered the premises disturbed and alerted the police.
Investigators probing the scene to determine the method used in illegally entering the building and to determine if anything was stolen have indicated that electronic items are missing.
The probe comes amid rising citizens’ concerns over the spate of criminal activity in the country.
At a recent news conference, police promised to step up efforts to confront crime.
“There are persons that will evade the presence of the police. We will be at all ends on the highways, byways, and backroads of Saint Lucia. For persons who intend to create or plan burglary or go contrary to the laws of Saint Lucia, the special services units will be out there,” warned Special Services Unit (SSU) Commander Inspector Lucius Small.
During the press conference this November, the SSU announced that it would increase its patrolling presence this holiday season, especially as burglaries and thefts tend to grow.
Inspector Small disclosed that the Unit had devised a plan to keep on the ground this season.
