Reports are that police conducting surveillance of motorists travelling the Warren J. Levarty Highway, on Thursday, October 19, pulled over a red Ford Taurus with three male occupants, who looked suspicious. <\/p>\n
Authorities say that after informing the trio of why they were stopped, the officers conducted a search of the vehicle and retrieved one silver Kodak camera, one silver Motorola Razor cellphone with a charger and a silver hand bracelet engraved with the marking “Escort 2004,” which none of the young men could satisfactorily account for possessing. <\/p>\n
As a result, the three Freeport residents ranging from ages 15 to 22 were arrested for unlawful possession of property suspected of being stolen. <\/p>\n
Police say that the suspected stolen items have been linked by forensic and other evidence to a recent hotel robbery. <\/p>\n
Authorities say that three American visitors: Sheri and Charles Marr of Gainville, Georgia along with April Smith of St. Charles, Missouri reported to Port Lucaya police that sometime between 7:30 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday, October 18, that while they were out having dinner some culprit or culprits broke into their room at the Woodbourne Resort Hotel on South Mall Drive and stole a large amount of personal property whose value police say totals $24,294. <\/p>\n
The 15 and 16-year-old male suspects are expected to face formal charges sometime today in a Freeport Magistrate Court.<\/p>\n
