Who Broke Into Dangriga Treasury and Removed Safe?

The investigation at the Solid Waste Management Authority that the Prime Minister spoke of earlier in this newscast is not the only one that is underway over missing public funds. We reported this week that thieves removed an entire safe from the Treasury building in Dangriga. It is a matter that the police suspect strongly involves inside coordination, if not involvement. The meticulous way the thieves went about their deed leads investigators to think they knew their surroundings well and knew exactly what to do to go undetected. The thieves disconnected the power that controlled the surveillance equipment before they entered the office. The amount that was in the safe is still not determined, but Prime Minister John Briceño says he’d like for the police to make an arrest.

“In many instances, whenever you have this kind of, um, of crime or burglaries and robberies in any institution or, or business, most of the time, it’s because there’s an inside job that somebody from within tells them, um, What’s going on? Where could go and so forth. So, um, I’m appealing to the police to investigate and try to find the perpetrator. But at the same time, if it is an inside job for us to try to find who are the people that are giving all this information and when we find them that we deal with them, um, using the justice system.”

“Are you able to say how much money went missing.”

“No, I, um, I’ve not been informed. Um, as yet, I probably, I’m, I’m thinking that, uh, they’re probably trying to, to find out and to ascertain the exact amount.”
