Malicious damage to woman’s Lexus and debit-card fraud of unknown value occupy police investigations

The car of a 35-year-old Mount Joy woman was vandalized with a
bottle of gasoline and another that contained a liquid and sand, both
of which were left behind by the alleged perpetrator.
 
Reports say that officers from the Parham Police Station are now
investigating this report of malicious damage, after the victim
reported that the windscreen of her Toyota Lexus, registration
number A66222, had been smashed in.

She also alleged that a plastic bottle had been left on the driver’s
seat, with what appeared to be gasoline inside.
 
Officers went to the scene where they observed that the left rear
door of the Lexus, which was parked on the western side of her
apartment, had been damaged.
 
It is alleged that the perpetrator had used a hard implement to
break out the glass, and had left behind a plastic water bottle on the
floor of the vehicle between the front and rear seats. 
 
Reportedly, the bottle appeared to have contained a liquid and sand;
and there was also sand on the rear seat, while an odour of gasoline
emanated from the rear of the car. 
 
This offence reportedly occurred between 7:30 p.m. on April 7 and 8
a.m. on April 8.
 
Meanwhile, a case of an alleged fraud involving a Carlisle man is
being investigated by the Police.
 
Allegedly, an unknown person has been using the man’s ACB
Caribbean debit card, according to his report to the Criminal
Investigations Department (CID).
 
It is alleged that the perpetrator made several All Mart purchases
sometime between January 2024 and April 5. However, exactly how
much money was spent by the unknown person on these
unapproved purchases is not clear.


The victim is likely to cancel his card.
