The economic situation appears to be so bad that persons have resorted to stealing car batteries, as the spate of acquisition crimes continues to escalate.<\/p>\n

A Tindale Road man is reporting that the battery was stolen from his vehicle, along with a number of other items \u2013 including a knapsack containing government IDs, his bank card, and his expired Antigua and Barbuda passport.<\/p>
