Two Bulgarian men who were arrested by local police in connection with an alleged ATM scam have been released.
This was confirmed with the Police Public Relations Officer Zachary Hippolyte, who said that the men have also been repatriated.
A date for the men’s release was not provided.
The men were arrested in Soufriere earlier this month and were said to be staying in Saint Lucia legally.
They were found with electronic gift cards in their possession, which were used to access peoples savings at local banks. They were also carrying EC$4000 with them.
Police were trying to obtain the services of a translator, who will read the charges to the men. It is unclear whether the police were able to acquire the services of a translator.
It is unclear which banks were targeted by the foreign nationals.
