The door of a Parks and Recreation utility truck was damaged by someone who tried to forcibly open it.
Parks and Recreation’s storage shed was damaged by burglars.
THE Department of Lands and Natural Resources-Division of Parks and Recreation storage shed in As Perdido was burglarized, according to Max Aguon, a Parks and Recreation staffer.
He said the incident must have happened Sunday evening.
He left the area at around 6 p.m. Sunday. “When I came back Monday morning, I saw the white pickup truck with damage on its doors, but the perpetrators were not able to open the doors.”
But the storage shed “where we store our equipment such as brush-cutters, chainsaws and other tools was forcibly opened,” he added.
He said the burglar or burglars must have had a hard time opening the shed’s door, so they pried open a portion of its wall which was made of tin roof.
Aguon said he immediately called his supervisor and the Department of Public Safety.
“My boss made an inventory of the items missing, and reported them to the police,” he added.
According to Aguon, this is not the first time that the shed has been burglarized.
If you have any information about this incident, please call 911 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, contact the CNMI Crime Stoppers hotline at (670) 234-7272.
