REAL NEWS: Four barrels were illegally removed from a locked shipping container at the St. John\u2019s Port over the weekend, according to an inside source, who says the authorities are keeping the incident quiet.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to the Port employee, four masked bandits entered the compound from an unknown point, carrying both firearms and bolt-cutters.<\/p>\n

The men reportedly cut the lock from the container, entered, and removed four barrels, after which they are said to have closed the container and secured it with a fresh lock they brought for that purpose.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Although the premises are supposed to be a high-security area, the theft went unnoticed \u2013 or, at least, unobstructed \u2013 by the guards.\u00a0 However, the source says the action was caught on security camera.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Speculation is that the barrels contained either drugs or firearms.\u00a0 But, so far, no report has been made of the break-in and theft by the Police.<\/p>\n

The source says there is also speculation that the offenses were committed by employees of the Port \u2013 or with their cooperation.<\/p>
