A Castries resident is counting her loses after bandits broke into her Cedars Road, Castries apartment and stole a quantity of items, including beers and seasoned chicken from her fridge on Monday, September 21.
The woman, who asked not to be named, told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that she is devastated by the recent burglary and feels unsafe for herself and five-year-old son who lives with her.
“I don’t feel safe. These fellas, whoever came and took my stuff it‘s like they put the stuff there. They came into my home and ransacked the entire house,” she said.
The 34-year-old woman discovered her apartment was broken into when she arrived home on Monday at around 5 p.m.
“They took my groceries, a television, clothes, jewelry, a laptop, beers…,” she explained.
According to her, the jewelry was the most expensive item stolen, which included six rings, chains and bands.
There was evidence of forced entry at the back door of the apartment and the burglar barriers that were built recently by her landlord were damaged in the process.
The woman said there have been previous break-ins in the area, but none of this magnitude.
She has been living in the Cedars apartment since 2001.
A report was made with the police and investigations are ongoing.
