Thieves rip off house under construction by National Housing and rob SDA church of electronics

The government housing programme has been the target of thieves, who
made off with a number of construction items being stolen from a property
under construction at Pares Village. 

This incident was reported to the Parham Police Station by a sub-contractor
for National Housing.
 
It is alleged that the perpetrators used force to open a metal door and gain
entry into the house from which they stole two cylindrical locks.
 

Allegedly, the intruders also went to a 20-foot container that is adjacent to the
house in which the sub-contractor had left two rolls of 2.5 white and black
electrical wire; two buckets of water paint; and two boxes of all-purpose
silicone – which reportedly were all stolen.
 
The Police conducted a search in the surrounding areas for the stolen items,
but found none.
 
This offence reportedly occurred sometime between 5:30 p.m. on May 17 and
7:30 a.m. on May 18.

Meanwhile, disrespect for places of worship carries on, as thieves reportedly
have stolen several electronic items from an Adventist Church. 
 
This report of sacrilege is being investigated by officers attached to the
Parham Police Station, since it was reported by an elder of the Parham
Seventh Day Adventist Church.
 
According to reports, the sanctuary was broken into sometime between 9:14
p.m. on May 17 and 8 a.m. on May 18, and two laptop computers and a 56-inch
TV were stolen. 
 
Apparently, the perpetrators used force to open a metal side door that was
closed, but not locked, and entered the building.
 
Reportedly, they then proceeded upstairs to a room where the Lenovo laptops
and the Panasonic television set were kept and removed them.
 
A search for the stolen items, carried out in the surrounding area, did not yield
any success.
