It is difficult to believe that the police can protect businesses in Exuma when they are unable to protect their own police station.<\/p>\n
Police have confirmed that over $10,000 was stolen from the Exuma Central Detective Police Station.<\/p>\n
The crime occured at weekend, sometime between midnight and 9:00am, at the station which is located outside of George Town.<\/p>\n
The front entrance of the station was smashed open and thieves made off with the money.<\/p>\n
This is the fifth government building to be burglarized in the past four months. Last month the Governor’s Harbour Post Office was robbed.<\/p>\n
In August, the Acklins Island Administrator’s Office was robbed of over $250,000.<\/p>\n
In June, the Passport Office on Thompson Boulevard was burglarized.<\/p>\n
Also in June, there was also a break-in at the Road Traffic Department.<\/p>\n
In early August there was a break-in at the Accounts Section of the Department of Immigration.<\/p>\n
Prior to that, there was a break-in at the Nassau Street magistrates’ court complex.<\/p>\n
In a previous incident, the Nassau chambers of Senior Supreme Court Justice Jon Isaacs was broken into and vandalised.<\/p>\n
Police have allegedly launched a “widespread investigation”.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the investigations believe that corrupt police officers were involved in the crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
