– cash, uniforms, boots stolen
While significant attention is being paid to the fire at the Ministry of Health headquarters on Brickdam, police now have to shift some of their focus to determine who carried out a daring break-in at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Early yesterday morning it was discovered that thieves had broken into the Police Finance office, in the heart of Eve Leary, and made off with a significant amount of cash and cheques.
As if that was not enough, thieves also struck at the Quartermaster Stores which is also situated in the Eve Leary compound, escaping with uniforms, boots and about 100 police jerseys.
A massive probe has been launched and this newspaper understands that the break-ins are a major embarrassment for the force.
According to reports, the thieves forced their way into the Police Finance Office, which is located near the heavily guarded Tactical Services Unit Barracks.
They managed to break open two cashier cages where cash, made up of uncollected salaries and pensions, were stored.
They were however unsuccessful in their attempts to break into the third cashier cage.
This newspaper understands that staff at the finance office had worked at the facility up to Saturday preparing budget.
The break in at the Quartermaster Stores was even more perplexing, since there were also signs of forced entry.
Both discoveries were made yesterday morning.
The source said that the thieves probably used the time of the night when ranks from the Tactical Services Unit were busy at a barbeque at the Police Sports Complex pavilion.
Several persons were questioned and the source said that a number of ranks who were supposed to be on guard duty will initially face disciplinary actions with the possibility of criminal charges later.
