In the early hours of Friday, May 29, 2026, the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda launched a rapid response to an urgent report of an ongoing break-in at a commercial store on Lower All Saints Road, Saint John’s. The official media release, issued the following day by the force’s Office of Strategic Communications, detailed the sequence of events that unfolded after officers arrived at the scene.
When law enforcement personnel reached the location just after 3:00 a.m., they spotted three male suspects, all clad in dark clothing, emerging from the targeted building. Descriptions released to the public note two of the men are roughly six feet tall, while the third stands approximately five feet eight inches tall. Upon seeing police, the trio split up and fled the area in different directions, managing to temporarily evade immediate capture.
According to investigators, the suspects had looted a range of electronics and power equipment from the business premises, including eleven 43-inch JVC televisions, one 32-inch Royal brand television, two handheld drills, a complete tool kit, and one powered vacuum cleaner. In a breakthrough for responding officers, all of the stolen property was recovered intact in the immediate area outside the targeted building shortly after the suspects fled.
The case remains open and active, with the Criminal Investigations Department continuing to pursue leads to identify and apprehend the three at-large suspects. Law enforcement is issuing a public call for assistance from anyone who may have been in the Lower All Saints Road area in the early hours of May 29, or anyone who holds additional information that could advance the investigation. Members of the public with relevant details can contact the Criminal Investigations Department directly at 462-3913 or 462-3914, or submit anonymous tips through the Crimestoppers hotline at 800-TIPS (8477).
