Less Than $1,000 Stolen in Dangriga Treasury Burglary

According to ASP Stacy Smith, burglars who targeted the Dangriga Treasury Building and stole the safe did not get away with a large sum of money. She told reporters that “the treasury is not in the practice of keeping large sums of money in that building. It was just under a thousand dollars.”

The burglary occurred sometime between the late night hours of Thursday, November 20, and the early morning hours of Friday, November 21, 2025.

Police responded to reports of the burglary at approximately 8:00 AM on Friday. Upon arrival, officers were informed by a staff member that “at about 7:45 AM she discovered that the establishment had been burglarised and that a safe containing a small amount of cash was stolen.”

Scenes of Crime personnel were summoned to the scene, and several items of evidential value were retrieved. These items are in the process of being submitted to the National Forensic Science Services Laboratory to determine if they will advance the investigation.

Speaking on property crimes, police reminded the public, “This season is generally one that we have noted over the years as being a peak period of time in relation to property crimes. I urge persons to take the necessary precautions to safeguard themselves as the department continues to do its part.”
