Police are asking for the public’s help to track down 76 air-conditioning units that were stolen from a container in West Bay.
According to an RCIPS press release issued Friday, 25 Aug., the units, which were reported stolen around 1pm the day before, were taken sometime between the hours of midday, Thursday, 17 Aug., and 12:30pm, Thursday, 24 Aug.
“The units were individually boxed and stored in two padlocked containers located on a vacant lot on Up The Hill Road, West Bay,” police said in the release, adding that the thieves cut the padlocks to get to the units.
The 76 units are all Comfort Star split unit air-conditioners with a combined value of $14,000, according to the release.
Police believe the units will most likely be shipped off island or sold within the construction industry locally.
Anyone with any information, or who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident, or might know the current location of the units, is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 949-4222, or 949-3999.
