The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force is actively engaged in investigating multiple incidents across Grand Turk and Providenciales over the weekend.


These incidents, involving robbery, theft, and a vehicular collision, have raised concerns within the community and prompted law enforcement to urge public cooperation in providing any relevant information.


The series of events commenced on March 28th, 2024, when a report surfaced regarding a motor vehicle collision along East Suburbs Road, Grand Turk, resulting in injuries to four individuals. Preliminary investigations indicate that the collision involved two vehicles and occurred around 5:22 pm. The severity of the injuries underscores the gravity of the incident, prompting authorities to heighten their efforts in determining the causes and potential liabilities.


On March 31st, the Police Control Room was alerted to a robbery at a supermarket situated along Industrial Drive, Providenciales. According to reports received around 10:51 am, two armed individuals entered the premises, conducted a robbery, and subsequently fled the scene.


Prompt response from law enforcement officers led to the pursuit of one suspect; however, the individual managed to evade capture by disappearing into nearby bushes. The incident underscores the brazenness of criminal elements within the community and the need for enhanced vigilance and security measures.


In a separate incident reported on April 01st, the Grand Turk Police Station received notification of a stolen vehicle, a black Honda Fit with license plate 30305. The vehicle, which had been securely parked along Back Salina by its owner, was discovered missing upon the owner's return.


Furthermore, on Saturday, March 30th, an 18-year-old female was apprehended on suspicion of dangerous driving following a motor vehicle incident.
