The TTPS arrested a man who allegedly stole music equipment from a church and supplies, hair weave and eyelashes from a salon on Friday. A woman who returned to a church in Sangre Grande entered at 7:45 am and saw the main entrance door open and the lock tampered. When she entered the building, she saw two speaker boxes, two microphone systems, one musical mixing board, one vocal receptor, and a gas tank were missing. Members of the church said that one was given permission to enter the church or to carry away any of the items.
In another crime which reportedly occurred at 7 a.m., another woman returned to her Sangre Grande business place where she observed the door open and the main entrance burglar-proof lock missing. The woman said she saw a number of shampoos, conditioners, and hair gels and an assortment of weaves and eyelashes missing when she entered the establishment. The incidents were reported to police who responded and launched investigations, led by constables Salickram. Following further inquiries, detectives from the Sangre Grande Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and officers attached to the Eastern Division Task Force, executed a search warrant at the home of the 39-year-old suspect where they allegedly found and seized the items. He was arrested in connection with the reports of sacrilege, shop breaking, and larceny. The man is expected to be charged soon in connection with the matters, pending additional investigations.
