Lucky that new Island wide CCTV Network that Minister Weeks is so proud of has been installed which will allow the perpetrators to be tracked to their destination. Oh wait, have we been lied to? Isn’t it up and working? How long has it been and how many millions of dollars spent, and how many more to spend?
Good question. Took 3 years to get playground equipment from Dockyard to St. David’s.
That shop needs better security every other month , someone’s jacking em.
make this law immediately – thieves like this should be required to get surgically implanted tracking chips, with regular checkups to ensure they didnt remove them, and be made to have the chips for life, so they can be tracked 24/7, and banned from ever owning any form of vehicle. Their faces need to be plastered on the news so no employer would ever hire them for the rest of their life, and they should be banned from ever entering any form of business or shop for decades.
