The police are questioning two male suspects in connection with the alleged theft of a motor vehicle.
Reports are that around 2:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 15, officers attached to the Criminal Investigations Department were conducting mobile patrols in the Villa Area when they intercepted a silver Toyota Vitz that had been reported stolen.
Two occupants, a 16-year-old and an adult male, were apprehended and taken into police custody. The said vehicle was reportedly stolen from the owner on Tuesday, May 13, in the vicinity of the Antigua Grammar School. It was taken to the Police Headquarters for further forensic examination. Further investigations are ongoing into the incident.
Anyone with information that can further assist the police with their investigation is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913/14 or call Crimestoppers at 800-TIPs (8477).
Meanwhile, the police have arrested and formally charged 33-year-old Ericson Williams of Potters with Attempted Murder.
The charge stems from an incident that occurred on April 21 in Potters, where Williams allegedly sprayed Josh Charles, also of Potters, with a hazardous substance. Charles sustained severe injuries as a result and remains hospitalized at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre.
Williams was expected to make his first court appearance on Thursday.
The police continue their investigation and urge anyone with additional information to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or 462-3914.
