Persons whose packages were stolen at Post Office still waiting for compensation

Basseterre, St. Kitts, June 13, 2018 – It is nearly a year since the General Post Office (US mailbox section) was burglarized and customers are still waiting for compensation.

The post office was broken into during the evening of June 18 or the early morning of June 19 and was closed for a period of time for police to carry out an investigation and the postal authorities to assess the damage.

“Upon reopening of its doors, customers whose valuable and expensive items were stolen were told to leave their invoices along with their contact numbers, however nothing was done by the authorities,” said an individual, who spoke on condition that her name is not used.
