Burglary
Around 11:30pm on Monday, Police attended a reported burglary at a Hamilton parish guest property. On arrival officers spoke with the complainant, a 31 year old American citizen, who is a member of the U.S. Coastguard and a visitor to the island. He stated that earlier he heard a knock at the door while he was lying in bed. When he opened the door, a man asked for directions to Swizzle Inn. The American visitor became suspicious of the individual and closed the door, retiring to bed after making sure all doors were secure. However, a short time later he heard noises at a window near the bedroom before a metal chair shattered it. The suspect then entered the residence and stole the complainant's army green camouflage bag containing his Coast Guard helmet and gloves; a wallet containing $10 in cash and personal items; and a dark green & black knapsack containing a black electronic organizer in a velcro case. The suspect is described as a light brown skinned male with curly hair, approximately 5'4" tall, wearing a brown shirt and cargo type denim pants. Inquiries into this incident are underway. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident or anyone with any information to contact the St. George's Criminal Investigation Unit on 297-1122 or the main Police number, 295-0011.
