Burglars hit TEXACO gas station
One of the openings in the roof, which the burglars used to enter the premises.
Proprietor of the TEXACO Vlissengen Road branch, Steven Chung, told this newspaper that early yesterday morning he missed several calls from an employee and when he eventually did manage to answer, he was greeted with the news that his place of business had been broken into. Chung related that when he arrived at the location, the security guard who was on duty brought his attention to a door at the back of the building, which was wrenched open. A grill door, also at the back of the building, was also cut open by the perpetrator(s).
There were at least four openings in the inner roof of the building, which were apparently used to enter the mini mart on the premises.
The only thing Chung said he was certain of that was missing from the building was the drawer for the cash register. Chung said the drawer had some $15,000 and a man was seen scaling the back fence with a large metal ‘thing’ in his hand.
“The security guard said he heard a noise at the back of the building and when he went to the back he saw a man jumping the back fence with what we have confirmed as the drawer for the cash register.
He told me he couldn’t run behind the person because he did not want to leave the rest of the place unattended,” Chung explained.
The matter has since been reported and investigations are ongoing.
