Sneak thief ruins a perfect day

A couple walking on the beach had their idyllic afternoon shattered when a man stole $110 in cash from their bag.

The couple went for a walk on Jobson's Cove in Warwick sometime between 4 and 4.15 p.m. on Wednesday, leaving a bag on the beach. When they returned, they noticed that a man who had been sitting on the rocks nearby was leaving the area. The cash was gone when they checked the bag.

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned male, six feet tall, slim build, wearing a white T-shirt and purple jogging pants. He is believed to be in his late 40s or early 50s, with greying curly hair and a "scruffy" appearance.

?A burglar broke into Arabian Chicken on Court Street overnight on Tuesday and stole $110. Police are also investigating a burglary at a Pearman Hill Road, Hamilton parish home after a 27-inch TV, DVD player, tools and $250 cash were stolen on Tuesday.

Inquiries into the above incident are underway.
