Reports say the security coordinator at the Jolly Harbour Marina went to Johnsons Point Police Station and reported that two boats docked at the Marina Bay had been broken into.
This offence reportedly occurred sometime between 3 a.m. and 5:20 a.m. on January 15.
Reports say that a 66-year-old man, the owner of a 67-foot Oyster vessel named Matawai reported that he had gone to bed at about 4 a.m., and been awakened by a spotlight shining through the glass door to the main cabin at about 5:20 a.m.
While checking his boat, he said he observed that the cabin door was open and his partner’s iPhone 12 was missing.
The Tikitiboo, another vessel docked at the marina, was also the target of thieves.
The owner reportedly is based overseas.
However, he submitted footage from a surveillance camera installed on the boat, which shows an unknown man walking about inside the vessel.
It is unclear whether anything was stolen, as the security coordinator reported that the recording stopped abruptly when the intruder realized he was being recorded.
In yet another incident, the owner of the former Auto Rescue Antigua, located on American Road, telephoned the CID and reported that the business had been broken into and a 3D printer and a vacuum had been taken.
Reportedly, this offence occurred sometime between 5:30 p.m. on January14 and 5:40 p.m. on January 15 on American Road.
It is alleged that the owner secured the building and left the items inside; however, on his return, he found the front entrance door open.
Allegedly, the intruder had used a ladder to gain height, and then used a prying implement to force open a push-up bathroom window.
Having done so, he entered and ransacked the entire building and stole the items. Exit was made via the front door.
A search was carried out in the surrounding area and a window screen was found on the western side on a plot of vacant land.

Come on now Police Commissioner Attlee Rodney, the country is under siege from these low life’s.
From the North, to the South, to the East, and to the West; the criminal fraternity is becoming emboldened and rampant.
Antiguans aren’t safe on the streets, their homes or in their boats.
ADDRESS THE NATION, AS TO HOW YOU ARE GOING TO TACKLE THIS …
… Many of us pay OUR taxes and pay YOUR wages. Please, we are pleading with you to respond!
Sitting down behind a desk in the police stations is not going to solve crime. The police has to assign officers to work undercover in certain communities to get to know the people. They can then find out who is unemployed and who is illegal in the country.
There has to be a lot of poverty and unemployment in Antigua, despite the brag of economic powerhouse, as gainfully employed people don’t have time to rob people. Or is it that a lot of people are unemployed because they are in the country illegally and therefore can’t find work? The police had better get out of their offices and work on the streets to tackle the crime problem.
@Think about it, you are absolutely right.
During the UPP’s reign when such things were happening, we heard the then Opposition Leader say that poverty breeds crime and there wasn’t anything like this so what’s it now? We have more poverty, more unemployment and ofcourse, more crime. The ALP has turned our vibrant young men, who should be professionals in various disciplines, into brush cutters and at times they have to wait for weeks to be paid the measly $360. All this is deliberate and the leader is now saying that they might have to seek qualified and certified workers from the region to enhance our workforce because such competent personnel cannot be sourced here. If that guy is not crazy, then certainly, I am.
