arrest30122009Philipsburg:-- Police on Tuesday December 29th at approximately 11.00 a.m. a unanimous report came in to the Central Police Dispatch informing them, that at least three persons were busy breaking into a house on Killebarn drive in Cul-de-Sac. Immediately after receiving this information several police patrols and detectives were sent to the scene to investigate the matter, however on the arrival of the investigating officers the suspects had already left the scene in a small black vehicle with license plate P-8292.
A search of the area did not have any positive results. However, at around 03.15 p.m. a unit of the 0-tolerance Team, while in the area of Madame Estate spotted the suspect vehicle in the parking lot of Fresh Market. No-one was in the vehicle at the time. The unit stood on guard for a short time and saw when two unknown men stepped into the suspected vehicle and attempted to drive away. The two suspects were arrested on the spot and during a quick search of the car, a generator was found on the backseat of the car. The suspects are R. E. from Sint Maarten and G.P.C. from the Dominican Republic.
Neither of the suspects could give an acceptable explanation to where the generator came from or who the owner was. The generator was confiscated for further investigation. Both suspects were transported to Philipsburg Police Station and handed over to the Detective Dept. who will continue the investigation into this matter.

These boys are going to make up a story that their car was stolen for a few hours and they were not involved with the robbery of the house.
Their lawyer will argue some cockamy story that it wasnt them..but somebody else using their car.
I hope all these bandits are thrown in jail-even if the jail full...put them out in shackles in hot sun and rain

I agree'not enough'These young pinks do not want to work.The Police are advertising for youths to join the Force but they prefer to stael and kill. The Prison Service need officers and can't get them to join.
Yet they steal and kill and end up behind bars.
More severe punishment needs to be meted out to them. America has a '3 strikes' law., other countries like Antigua has a minimum sentence law-where you know if you are caught breaking and entering a home ,it is 7 years to start. Any violence during the commiting of the crime is 15 years etc.
So not even their smart-a** lawyer can argue them out of it.
We have to protect our Tourism even if it means building a bigger jail or as part of Europe- we start sending them to Guadeloupe. smilies/grin.gif
