Vehicle Reported Stolen From St. Johnson’s Village; Owner Appeals for Public’s Help

A vehicle owner residing in Antigua’s St. Johnson’s Village has reached out to the broader community for support in tracking down their white Toyota Harrier SUV, which was reported stolen from the Big Apple Road neighborhood on Tuesday evening. According to details shared directly with local outlet Antigua Newsroom, the incident traces back to a small, accidental oversight earlier that day: at roughly 5:30 p.m., the owner stepped outside to retrieve an item from their parked SUV, and after completing the task, mistakenly left their set of keys hanging on a fixture outside their home. It was only later that the owner realized the vehicle had vanished entirely from its parking spot. To help the public easily identify the missing SUV, the owner has circulated reference photos that highlight unique, hard-to-miss markings: the most distinct feature is a bright red floral decal affixed to the rear windshield. Additional identifying details include the official government registration plate marked A 53287 on the rear of the vehicle, and a custom personalized front plate that reads “JAY-P.” The owner is urgently asking any community members who may have spotted the SUV in recent days, or who hold any relevant information about its current location or the circumstances of its disappearance, to contact authorities promptly. As of now, full details of how the theft unfolded remain unconfirmed, and local media has not been able to independently verify whether a formal, official police report has been submitted for the case. Local law enforcement is advising all members of the public who encounter the missing SUV to avoid approaching the vehicle or attempting to intercept it on their own, and instead immediately contact the Criminal Investigations Department via the dedicated hotlines 462-3913 or 462-3914 to share their tip safely.
