The police have arrested four young men in connection with the theft of watermelons from the Parham Primary School Farm.
At approximately 12:00 p.m. on Monday, September 1, officers responded to a report, where several individuals were seen stealing agricultural produce from the school’s compound.
Upon the arrival of the police, the suspects fled the scene.
A 19-year-old resident of Vernons was pursued and apprehended, while further investigations led to the arrests of three others: a 20-year-old, an 18-year-old, and a 17-year-old, all of Parham.
They are currently in police custody assisting with the ongoing investigations.
The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda continues to remind the public that Praedial Larceny is a serious criminal offence.
Such acts not only deprive farmers and institutions of their rightful produce but also threaten the sustainability of local agriculture.
The police will maintain a firm stance and take decisive action against anyone found engaging in the unlawful taking of crops or livestock.

Bravo. Good police work. Some jail time and community work, tilling the soil at Cades Bay Pineapple farm.
As punishment they should be put on a farm to for free for six months. They should leave people things alone. Let them see how hard it is to produce even just one watermelon
*put to work for free
Predial larceny is a serious thing in Antigua

These men are hungry. Give them a break.
LOL I bet neither of them attended that school and hence they didn’t plant them melons smfh
