Shem Charles will ap­pear be­fore a Point Fortin Mag­is­trate to­day, charged with bur­glary and lar­ce­ny of a mo­tor ve­hi­cle.
Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, on Oc­to­ber 16th, 2020, around 1.40 pm, a 39-year-old man parked his blue Nis­san Almera ve­hi­cle at Spring Trace, War­den Road, Point Fortin, by a friend. He re­turned around 2 pm and dis­cov­ered his ve­hi­cle miss­ing.

Lat­er that same day at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 9 pm, a 79-year old woman of South Cen­tral, Main Road, Point Fortin, se­cured her premis­es and re­tired to bed. Some­time lat­er, three men broke in­to her home, bound her hands with tie straps and cov­ered her face. The men ran­sacked her bed­room and then left her home. When the woman broke free, she dis­cov­ered $1,000 miss­ing from her purse and the keys to her Nis­san Blue­bird Sly­phy. She con­tact­ed the Point Fortin Po­lice Sta­tion.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the two in­ci­dents led to the ar­rest of 26-year-old, Shwm Charles, of Techi­er Vil­lage, Point Fortin. In­ves­ti­ga­tors are search­ing for the oth­er sus­pects.
