Thieves broke into the Central Board of Health compound on Lower All Saints Road overnight, stealing equipment and raising security concerns.

The break-in occurred between 18:00 on 25 September and 06:00 on 26 September. An employee discovered the forced entry on Friday morning, finding multiple points of access had been tampered with.

Reports say intruders pried open a door to access a storeroom, taking a sander valued at around EC$300. The woodwork department was also targeted, with a wooden window forced open and the area ransacked.
