The manager of Wayne’s Bakery in Micoud, Jonathan Crafton, said he is worried about the recent spate of burglaries occurring in the area, particularly his bakery.
Crafton told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that bandits broke into the his bakery, sometime between Monday at around 11 p.m and Tuesday at about 4 a.m.
The bandits stole items such as flour, sugar, bread, lard, and butter.
There was evidence of forced entry at the window and the toilet.
Crafton said prior to Tuesday’s incident, the bakery was robbed more than one week ago.
During that robbery, the bandits took all the cakes and all of the baking ingredients, along with $800 in cash.
The baker said that his workplace was never robbed before and he is hoping that the police can complete a successful investigation and hopefully recover some of the stolen items.
The home belonging to Wayne Providence, the owner of Wayne’s Bakery, was also robbed of clothing and electrical items, which includes a flat screen television set and a laptop.
At least nine people, including eight teenagers as young as 15, and two females have been arrested for those and other burglaries.
