Bahamian police have yet to make a breakthrough in their investigations of a major car theft operation that involves vehicles being stolen in Florida and smuggled into the Bahamas in shipping containers.<\/p>\n
It is believed that the operation is abetted by corrupt Bahamian police and customs officers along with corrupt Bahamian governnment officals.<\/p>\n
The shipping containers are supposed to contain only food for a local grocery store.<\/p>\n
An article in the Nassau Guardian did not name the food store, but quoted Superintendent Morey Evans, officer in charge of Exuma and the Southern Bahamas, who said:<\/p>\n
“We got some information [about] some uncustomed goods believed to be beers [that] were stashed on this fast ferry traveling from George Town to Nassau.<\/p>\n
“So on checking those vehicles we discovered some beers in the vehicles and as we examined them [the cars] to check for ownership we discovered that the vehicles were licensed in Nassau but the decals were not corresponding with the license plates. So recognizing that they may have been stolen, I moved the vehicles from the boat.”<\/p>\n
When the vehicles were run through the sytem it was discovered they were stolen.<\/p>\n
The trailers were brought into the country on a boat that travels directly into Exuma from Florida.<\/p>\n
In addition to the local investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is allegedly conducting investigations in Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
