A masked man entered the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) compound in the early hours of the morning, prompting renewed concern about security at a key emergency response facility.
The incident happened shortly after 01:00, when both ambulances on duty had left almost at the same time to attend separate emergencies, leaving a lone female dispatcher inside the building.
The intruder is believed to have been watching the compound and entered within minutes of the ambulances’ departure. He searched through bags and took cash and other small personal items.
The dispatcher was not physically harmed, but was left shaken. The man fled after she began screaming. Police were called and arrived within minutes.
EMS staff say the incident has had a significant emotional impact and have questioned how the compound was operating overnight without on-site security. A security officer was reportedly posted there the following night.
Police have not yet issued an official statement and investigations are continuing.

The loot has been taken folks..yes, they have lost the damn country to criminals.
Little Antigua, imagine that!
Or we should just go back to it’s old name ” Little LA”.
Now if the Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers; Attorney General Steadroy Benjamin; and Prime Minister Gaston Browne doesn’t respond to this brazen security breach at our Emergency Medical Services, then I’m at a loss for words!
What! Staff and patients aren’t even safe in hospital?
It seems like the criminals ah run tings here…
The relevant authorities can no longer ignore what’s going on in the country at large. The criminals have no fear of the laws or law enforcement.
Amnesty and the refugees from America will help father help us 🙏 😢
Not even the ones who work to keep us alive are safe! Criminal Activities are becoming too much
… And in the meantime Islanman26, Gasbag Browne is galavanting abroad and totally ignoring the tidal waves of crimes enveloping this country; but yet the ABLP and their supporters are more concerned about the UPP opposition members.
They have taken their eyes off the ball of what’s really troubling the hardworking citizens living here; people still talking about returning the ABLP to governance at next General Election?
GIVE CRITICAL THINKING ANTIGUANS A BREAK
Wtf so is there no security at this place?
This is unacceptable
These securities have to be watched very closely
