A weekend burglary at the AIDS Secretariat on Long Street left the government office without several appliances and other supplies.

The property was discovered missing when the building reopened at about 7 a.m. Monday. The office had reportedly been secured around 9 p.m. Saturday.

Among the items taken were a television, an air-conditioning unit, two pairs of shoes, a jacket, sanitary products, coffee and eggs.

Evidence at the scene indicated that six glass louvres had been removed from a window on the building’s western side. An effort was also made to bend the security bars, but that attempt failed.

It remains unclear how the burglars eventually got inside. Once in the building, they reportedly broke into the accountant’s office and went through the premises.

Checks of the surrounding area did not turn up any of the missing property. The matter remains under investigation.
