Councilor Luis John \u201cL.J.\u201d Castro, who is currently the acting mayor for the Northern Islands, fell prey to burglars anew. <\/p>\n
Castro\u2019s house in Finasisu was burglarized either on Sunday or Monday. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s sad and frustrating,\u201d Castro said in a phone interview yesterday.<\/p>\n
Stolen was a flatscreen TV worth $300 that had just replaced the one stolen by burglars in November.<\/p>\n
He said his clothes were all completely taken from a shelf.<\/p>\n
The burglar\/s managed to enter the house by breaking a window pane on a sliding door and damaging a window frame in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Castro said he was on Tinian when it happened and that his family was not in the house at that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating because they decided to do it again. It\u2019s already enough they invaded my private place one time. \u2026The first [time, it] happened before Christmas. This [latest] burglary happened while I was away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Castro hopes that authorities would soon identify and arrest the burglars in the two incidents.<\/p>\n
Castro was installed last month as chairman of the 14th Saipan and Northern Islands Municipal Council. One of the concerns he wants to address during his two-year term is how to improve the Neighborhood Watch Program.<\/p>\n
In the latter part of November 2016, burglars ransacked Castro\u2019s house of several items worth over $2,000. As of yesterday, no one has been arrested in both cases. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
