Thieves steal equipment from Central Board of Health compound

In a startling incident that has raised significant security concerns, thieves infiltrated the Central Board of Health compound located on Lower All Saints Road. The break-in, which took place between 18:00 on September 25 and 06:00 on September 26, was discovered by an employee on Friday morning. The perpetrators forced their way into the premises through multiple access points, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Reports indicate that the intruders pried open a door to gain access to a storeroom, making off with a sander valued at approximately EC$300. Additionally, the woodwork department was not spared, as a wooden window was forcibly opened and the area was thoroughly ransacked. This incident has prompted a reevaluation of security measures at the compound, with authorities and staff alike expressing deep concern over the vulnerability of the facility. The Central Board of Health is now working closely with law enforcement to investigate the breach and implement more robust security protocols to prevent future occurrences.
