Burglary and theft cases have been increasing at an alarming rate on Saipan the past several weeks.<\/p>\n
The Department of Public Safety reported only this week a burglary and theft incident that happened at a residence in Dandan last Nov. 12.<\/p>\n
DPS acting spokesman Jason Tarkong said Police Officer David Rabauliman, who responded to a call at a residence in Dandan, interviewed a couple who said that they have been robbed of three laptops, several pieces of jewelry, a DVD player, video games players, and other items totaling $8,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no evidence of a break in. Officer Rabauliman learned that the main door was not locked. This case is under investigation,\u201d the acting DPS spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
The couple told police that they left for work that morning at 9am. The husband arrived home at 12pm that day and found his living room in disarray.<\/p>\n
Cabinets and drawers were left open and he noticed several items were missing. He immediately called the police.<\/p>\n
Tarkong said a crime scene technician arrived and processed the scene. <\/p>\n
Saipan Tribune learned that the victims are Jonjie and Nhing Reyes.<\/p>\n
The Reyes couple described the stolen items as one black IBM Thinkpad laptop; one gray Dell Latitude laptop; one white Asus Eee mini-laptop; one black portable Playstation; two portable Playstations; one pink Sony digital camera; one blue 4G Ipod mini mp3 player; one Audiovox portable DVD player in a black Case Logic bag; one Swiss Army knife; and one Gerber multi-function pliers.<\/p>\n
