LARCENY ALERT
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) wishes to advise the general
public that several Larceny reports have been received in recent weeks. Thefts of personal property ranging from items as small in size as cellphones to bicycles and bulk consumable items (foodstuff) have been reported at police stations across the
Federation.
The general public is strongly advised to be extremely mindful of how and where they store or leave their possessions. Personal items that can be easily transported, whether in an open or concealed manner, should be properly secured as Larceny is very often a crime of opportunity. Anyone caught in the act or suspected of committing the offence of Larceny will be apprehended by law enforcement. Confirmed assailants will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Persons are reminded that the concealment, possession, and purchase of goods and property reported as stolen is a criminal offence. To this end, anyone found with stolen goods in their possession will be prosecuted.
The RSCNPF stands resolute in its commitment to maintain law and order for the protection and benefit of the citizens and residents in the Federation of St. Kitts and
Nevis.
