There was another burglary this weekend, it happened last night at the Solid Waste Transfer Station at mile 3 on the Western Highway. Fortunately no one was killed in this case. The burglars entered the compound through the back fence. They broke into the building through the back door, ransacked the place, stole several items and then drove off. Well, police say they did not even know about that burglary when they intercepted the same burglars who fired at police near Fabers Road. It is only until after they caught the driver that they got the call of that break in. Police told us more.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Where police officers were patrolling the Faber's Road area when they tried to stop a white SUV. The SUV took off and went through the Krooman Road area and came to a stop. When the vehicle came to a stop, three gunmen alighted the vehicle and opened fire at the police. The police responded, but the men managed to escape. The vehicle eventually sped off with the driver alone in it and again the police continued the pursuit and the vehicle was caught on La Croix Boulevard and inside the vehicle police found the driver Erwin Castillo and inside the vehicle they found a number of items believed to have been stolen from the area of waste control. I must say that at the time when the police spotted the vehicle we had not yet received the complaint of the burglary. It was subsequent to the police pursuit and the apprehension of the vehicle that the report of the burglary came in and the watchman from waste control reported that the said vehicle with four occupants went there, they tied him up and then proceeded to burglarise the building and took a number of items. So again, quick police work and good observation on the part of the police officers concerned have yield the detention of one person and the items stolen recovered along with the vehicle used."
Police continue to investigate this case.
