One of the bandits that was caught on camera

by a recent act of vandalism of a businessman’s stall.
The businessman, Anil Singh lost over $3M worth of cell phones and computer gadgets.
Critchlow, who met with the team of security officers, addressed the disorderly behaviour practiced by some members of the security fraternity, those culpable of executing their duties while under the influence of alcohol and those leaving the locations with permission.
The city councillor noted that while Singh’s stall was broken into early Sunday morning, a guard was seen approaching Singh’s stall with what appeared to be a bottle in his hand. Critchlow mentioned that while the guard stood outside of Singh’s stall having heard a noise, he probably was not aware that the thief was already in the stall.
Critchlow said that proper security is inevitable for the effective management of the Anna Regina Old Market which over the years, has had numerous break-ins.
Singh said that the thieves gained entry by removing boards from the back of his stall. He said that surveillance footage revealed a man who covered the lower part of his face removing gadgets from his stall. The recording has since been lodged with the police.
Two security offices operate during the nights in the Anna Regina Old Market.
