Then on Monday last, the suspect returned but this time, targeted the home of Lall’s neighbour.
There, the man carted off an undisclosed amount of electrical tools and appliance.

A wanted ad with a reward was then placed in the newspapers by affected residents’, which eventually led to his capture in the Nandy Park area.
While in the custody of residents, the man was asked what became of the items he stole.
He relayed that he sold the motorcycle for $5,000 to “One Hand” of Albouystown while the other items cannot be found.
Investigations are continuing.
