East­ern Di­vi­sion po­lice say they have ar­rest­ed a sus­pect in con­nec­tion with a re­port of lar­ce­ny from the per­son that oc­curred on last Thurs­day.

A state­ment from the Po­lice Ser­vice says on No­vem­ber 3, 2024, PC Delpino and a team of of­fi­cers from the East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force, re­spond­ed to a re­port of a dis­tur­bance in the vicin­i­ty of the San­gre Grande Po­lice Sta­tion.

At the scene, they en­coun­tered a 22-year-old labour­er who point­ed out a man whom he al­leged had stolen a gold-coloured chain from him.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 8:00 PM on Oc­to­ber 31, 2024, the al­leged vic­tim was at the cor­ner of Cruick­shank Street and Pic­ton Road in San­gre Grande when a man ap­proached him and snatched the chain—val­ued at $2,500—from around his neck.

The vic­tim gave chase but was un­able to catch the sus­pect, who man­aged to es­cape.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions were con­duct­ed and the of­fi­cers ar­rest­ed a 33-yearold man from Wa­ter­loo Road, Cara­pichaima in con­nec­tion with the in­ci­dent.

En­quiries are on­go­ing.
