22

A teacher’s trip to Police Headquarters with students ended in misfortune after she discovered her purse had been stolen from the school staff room. The Potters Village woman had secured her black Kipling purse inside her handbag and left it on a chair under a desk at the secondary school around 10:43 am on September 8th. During her two-hour absence, her belongings, including government IDs, bank cards, and supermarket loyalty cards, were stolen. Upon returning at approximately 12:47 pm, she found her purse missing. School authorities contacted police, who searched the premises but were unable to recover the stolen items, leaving the theft unresolved.

  3. It’s the trickle down effect jack, even school children ah get in pon de act. SIN CITY ANTIGUA. Satan can’t correct sin no matter how hard he try. We either chase Satan outta de yard or stay in this hellhole forever

  5. This sounds like an inside job to me. Too coincidental that the theft happened during the exact two-hour window she was away. Schools need to check who has access to staff areas.

  7. It’s really sad when even schools aren’t safe anymore. Teachers already sacrifice so much, and to return from a trip with students only to find personal belongings stolen is disheartening. Security at our schools needs to be taken more seriously.

  8. This incident shows that crime isn’t only about robberies in the street … it’s also about trust and safety in institutions. Schools must ensure that staff rooms are not left vulnerable, especially when teachers step out.

  9. We have to instill a culture of respect for our teachers. If they don’t feel secure at their own workplace, what message are we sending to the younger generation?

  10. This is bold. Someone had to know she was away on the trip. It raises questions about whether staff or outsiders are slipping in and out of schools unchecked. Cameras and tighter access control are urgently needed

  13. When I was teaching, I would leave my purse in my car’s trunk and carry my keys on a lanyard around my neck. I know most people don’t drive in Antigua so might I suggest carrying a phone case with credit card slips and space for cash on yiur oerson. It’s a daggone shame to think that the thief, in this case, could be a fellow teacher because this seems like an inside job to me. I can’t stand a daggone thief!!!

  15. The teacher is negligent, the government also is negligent because the teachers should have locker room for their personal effects storage. What if she had adult contents and toys in her bag, she do turn those kids into some deviant.
    But that doesn’t mean the alleged removal of items from bag should happen.

  16. By the rate Antigua is going, people will start living in their houses with no processions at all, but just the clothe on their backs.

    What a thing. Everything one has is subject to be stolen in Antigua.. my goodness me. Soon Antiguan’s wouldn’t be able to leave their houses..

    That’s the fear that has crippled this island.

    No freedom Anymore..just a bunch of criminals controlling the place.

    Speak up people..someone knows something about the ladies purse..

  18. It’s not just money, IDs, bank cards… that can be a nightmare to replace. Hope the police catch whoever did this.

  21. If they was paying those teachers properly nobody wouldn’t have to steal money.Pay the teachers what they’re worth
