Shop-owner makes a water run and comes back to find her business broken into and cash gone

A businesswoman who left her establishment to fetch water from
another location had her place broken into and an undisclosed sum
of money stolen.

Reports say the Old Road woman secured her shop at about 11:45
p.m. and left for Curtain Bluff to collect some water.

On the woman’s return, at about 1 p.m., she noticed that the front
door had been tampered with; and after entering the shop she
discovered that an intruder had made off with an undisclosed sum
of cash.

The businesswoman then telephoned the Johnsons Point Police
Station and reported the break-in and theft.

The intruder reportedly had used force to pry open the door to the
shop.

Inquiries into this incident continue.
