Two men are fac­ing charges of Lar­ce­ny Ser­vant and House Break­ing and Lar­ce­ny. The men were ar­rest­ed in the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion in sep­a­rate in­ci­dents on Fri­day, the Po­lice Ser­vice has con­firmed.

In the first in­ci­dent, around 8 pm on Sep­tem­ber 22nd, the vic­tim (of For­est Park, Clax­ton Bay) se­cured his home and went away.  How­ev­er, on his re­turn, he dis­cov­ered his home ran­sacked and a quan­ti­ty of elec­tron­ic items miss­ing.

A re­port was sub­se­quent­ly made to the Cou­va Po­lice Sta­tion.

When the of­fi­cers ar­rived at the vic­tim's home, they heard nois­es com­ing from in­side the house. As the of­fi­cers drew clos­er to the sound, two men were seen jump­ing out of a win­dow and run­ning away. The of­fi­cers gave chase and with the as­sis­tance of vil­lagers, one of the sus­pects was de­tained.

A 32-year-old man (said to be from Curepe and Gas­par­il­lo) was ar­rest­ed and tak­en to the sta­tion for pro­cess­ing.

In the oth­er in­ci­dent which took place ear­li­er in the day, a busi­ness own­er was con­duct­ing in­ven­to­ry at his hard­ware—lo­cat­ed at South­ern Main Road, Cunu­pia—when he dis­cov­ered sev­er­al stock items were miss­ing, which were val­ued at $18,158.

Of­fi­cers of the Cunu­pia Po­lice Sta­tion were con­tact­ed and vis­it­ed the scene.

Their in­ves­ti­ga­tions led to the ar­rest of a 28-year-old em­ploy­ee of Dyette Street, Cunu­pia.

A search war­rant was ex­e­cut­ed at the em­ploy­ee’s home and all the items re­port­ed miss­ing were re­cov­ered.

The man is ex­pect­ed to be charged with Lar­ce­ny Ser­vant.
