Even the afc/apnu supporters are not immune from crime as the party cannibalizes its own members to obtain 50% increase in lifestyle similar to their bosses in the cabinet.

 

Larceny offences continue to rock Wismar

As police in Linden, Region 10, work to curb the occurrence of a number of break and enter and larceny cases, there are presently complaints from more residents regarding stolen motorcycles.

One of the most recent cases involved the theft of a white Honda XR150L, valued $425,000 which was stolen from outside a home at Tank Street, Wisroc Housing Scheme, Wismar.

According to the owner of the motorcycle who spoke to this newspaper on the condition of anonymity, the motorcycle was removed from underneath the home sometime between 23:00h on Tuesday to 05:00h on Wednesday. He further related that he locked his motorcycle by way of securing it with the key and left it underneath the home at approximately 22:45h on Tuesday. Upon making checks the following morning the motorcycle was missing.

A report was made to the Wisroc Police Outpost and subsequently to the Wismar Police Station, where an investigation was launched.

When contacted by this newspaper on the issue of motorcycle thefts in the Linden community, E Division (Linden – Kwakwani) Commander Calvin Brutus confirmed two other cases which occurred in recent months at Wismar.

Residents have also voiced concerns over the issue, noting there are several cases of attempted theft and “stripping” of motorcycles that may have eventually gone unreported. Additionally, this newspaper learnt that a bicycle and other items were also stolen from outside a home at Half Mile, Wismar between the same period as the XL150L.

Only recently Commander Brutus had disclosed there was a trend in the number of break and enter and larceny cases at Wismar and named the Wisroc ‘New Scheme’ as one of the affected areas.

He also urged residents to be “vigilant” and to report any suspected cases, stating that reports will be treated with strict confidentiality.
