Man Charged With Theft Of Police Car
A 45-year-old man was remanded in custody yesterday morning [June 23] after appearing in Magistrates Court charged in relation to an incident in which an unmarked police car was stolen from Police Headquarters in Prospect.
A Police spokesman said, “Kenneth Steede was remanded in custody this morning at Magistrate’s Court after he was charged with Aggravated Taking of a Vehicle Without the Owner’s Consent (TWOC).”
“Steede took an unmarked police car from Police Headquarters in Prospect around 1:25 am on Saturday, 18th June. He abandoned the vehicle shortly after but not before colliding with a parked car in the Prospect area. Steede is 45 years old and resides in Pembroke parish.”
“He was not required to enter a plea as the matter is triable on indictment. Steede will return to Court on 14th July. The police can report that the damages caused to the private car and the police car are of a minor nature.”

WHAT A CONFUSSED OLD MEN
Old, dumb and full of rum!
Question? How was he able to take an unmarked police car…were the keys left in the vehicle, unattended…. The officer responsible should be charged for negligence.
?? you dont need keys to steal a car.. even so i wouldnt be surprised if the keys are left in the cars while at station so in an emergency cops arent running around the office figuring which key fits which car…
if you leave your front door open and someone robs you, i’d hardly say its negligence on your part
THAT IS FOR SURE!!!!
How in the world was a 45 year old man allowed to steal an unmarked police car, parked at Police Headquarters in the first place? Were the keys carelessly left inside the car by the officer in charge of the vehicle the day before, or was he given access without proper identification to the compound area?
I hope the officer who had use of the vehicle is also being reprimanded. Or, they must need to look into better security up on that hill.
All sound questionable to me.

lol although better security up on that hill… ya i’d agree with that
I agree with you Scott. I don’t think the officer should get in trouble, I mean who the hell would steal a police car? Then again, it was unmarked. So maybe they should only leave the keys in the marked cars. Make sense?
LOL! Sounds like a scene from “World’s Dumbest” LOL!
HOLD UP 4 ONE FLEPPIN WELL SECOND BUH,
if our tax dollaz pay 4 police cars, why arent we allowed 2 take dem for a ride if we wunt to? dis is greed on de part of de police department, n dey shuld b ashamed of themselves. WAKE UP PPL, NOBODY WUZ EVEN USIN DE CAR, SO Y DOES IT EVEN MATTER?
my auntie Tank Treads said dat back in de day, police deparment wuld let ANY member of de public use de cruisers if dey needed to. She said that 1 day she wuz in town, n needed 2 go get sum eggs from up St. Georges (her ace girl Brunt-Shambra had sum hens up dere that laid boasty eggs). Unfortunately, her bike wuz bein mug, so she went up Prospect n wuz like “AY BIE, maahhhh borrow sumbody’s cruiser!”. Within 5 seconds, seven different officers had thrown there car keyz at her n said “NO PROBLEM, BRUNTY…TAKE SHE FOR AS LONG AS U WUNT!” So she went up st geo, got sum eggz, then started 2 drive back town. On de way back, she saw sum drunk bedrin on mcGalls hill swearing loudly in public with his pants down round his ankles, so she got out de cruiser, beat him in2 submission, den made a citizens arrest. When she got back 2 Prospect, guyz there were like “Eggz? Arrestin bies? oh CHA, tank treads, u just killed 2 bird wif one stone!” She wuz humble tho, so she just ate her eggs n went home.
what um tryin to say is that police cruisers shuld be available 4 public use 24/7, cuz then bies could do there daily chores n enforce d law at d same time. This guy is guilty of nothin but exercisin his rights. KEEP FIGHTIN D GOOD FIGHT, DUN!
Its really simple PPL…
