A boutique located opposite Courts on Chaussee Road, Castries has been forced to close its doors, after it was robbed of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise between Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
MI Fashion owner, Daniel Lester, told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) on Tuesday that one of the tenants in the building where his business is located, discovered that his boutique was broken into this morning.
Lester said the tenant alerted his sister, who called the police and went straight to the business premises to check for herself, if anything was taken from the boutique.
Upon arriving there, his sister recognized that the bandits had cut through a burglary bar at the back of the building, facing the SDA Church and Courts, to gain entry into the business.
The boutique was completely cleaned of clothing, shoes and accessories worth over $15,000.
Lester said while he opened the establishment in October 2014 and there was a small break-in, a few months after opening, the bandits only managed to take a few pieces of clothing and a radio.
However, the businessman said he has no choice but to permanently close his shop, because nothing is left to remain opened.
Police have still not arrived at the business place to conduct their investigations.
Two weeks prior to that, bandits broke into Courts Chaussee Road, Castries branch and carted off with an undisclosed number of laptop computers, televisions and electronic games.
