The RCIPS has noted an increase in the number of stolen vehicle reports since the beginning of July, with 18 reports received over the course of the month, including attempted vehicle thefts. One male juvenile has been arrested in Bodden Town, for handling stolen goods, after having been found with parts taken from one of the stolen vehicles. He has been granted bail as investigations continue.
The majority of the reports have occurred in George Town, with West Bay and Bodden Town affected as well. Most of the offences have occurred overnight, and some have involved vehicles which were not properly secured. In some other incidents the culprits appear to have gained access to vehicles using other methods.
Most of the reports have involved cars, including several involving Honda’s from the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Many of the vehicles have since been recovered, but several remain outstanding.
The RCIPS is reminding the public to ensure they take precautions against vehicle thefts, including ensuring your vehicles are properly secured whenever they are unattended, and parking in well-lit, non-secluded areas. Persons should also consider investing in CCTV.
The RCIPS is also asking the public to be on the lookout for the below reported stolen vehicles, which remain outstanding:
Please contact 9-1-1 if you see, or have any information on, any of the listed vehicles.
