There is no happy ending for a Corinth woman who recently lost her 2008 Daihatsu Terios to theft.
The shell of the vehicle was found in the bushes outside of Babonneau today, June 4, 2014.
A 2008 Daihatsu Terios.
Virginia Auguiste confirmed that the Terios, registration HG 2129, which was stolen from her home while she slept on May 26, was found in one location while some other parts such as the engine and gear stick were recovered at another location. These are now housed at the Gros Islet Police Station.
The car in question was one of a few vehicles which the Auguiste uses for her car rental business.
Speaking to Saint Lucia News Online (SNO) Auguste said she was heartbroken when she saw the car for the first time today.
As the attached photos indicate, the Terios was stripped off its windscreen, wheels, doors, lights and other parts.
Auguiste said she has no other choice but to put things in place to replace the vehicle. As to whether anyone has been arrested or under suspicion of the crime, Auguste said she is hopeful that someone will be apprehended since the engine and other parts were found at a separate location.
“It’s just scary that people have no regard for others,” she said in a shaky voice to an SNO reporter.
In an interview with SNO the day after the vehicle was stolen, Auguste had expressed hope of finding the vehicle, noting that she had spent a lot to keep it in good shape and legal.
