The door that was broken by the bandits.
A Fond Mange resident is fed up with the number of burglaries and break-and-enter incidents in her community after her home was broken into recently.
Laurentia Leo, a mother of five children, told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) on Friday that Fond Mange, a community near Marigot, has been experiencing an increase in break-ins over the past few weeks.
“That need to stop,” she remarked.
Leo became a victim for the first time on Thursday at around 2 a.m. She was not at home when bandits broke in.
“The door had two locks. They broke the dead lock, imagine the dead lock to enter the house.”
Luckily, nothing was stolen.
“They broke the door but didn’t have time enter the house because someone saw them and they run off,” she told SNO.
The 40-year-old said a report was made to the Marigot Police Station, but “up to that day I never see no police”.
She has since changed the locks on the door.
“I’m a hardworking woman with my kids. Those people need a job. They need to stop trying to break and enter people’s house,” she said.
