Police seek owners of stolen goods
(CNS): The police have recovered a large number of items during searches that they believe were stolen and are now seeking to reunite the property with its owners. The items recovered include jewellery, watches, power tools, electronics and cellphones. People can view the items on the RCIPS website here and here and if they recognise anything can contact DC 344 Gomes at 926-2965 or DC 198 Mendez at 916-1621. The police also reminded the public to discreetly mark their items or write down the make, model and serial numbers of all valuable items in the event that they are stolen to assist officers in their investigations.
Anyone who has any information about the theft of the goods can also contact the same two detectives. Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via our Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or via the RCIPS website. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via the Miami-based call centre of Crime Stoppers at 800-8477(TIPS), or online here.
To the owners of this property, you SHOULD be expecting contact from the RCIP soon. Don’t leave your belongings in lockup too long. You know how that goes.
1985 all over again…lol.
You mean you keep no database of who has reported what stolen? Would that not be better? Then you could concentrate on finding the stealers of owners goods!
But how about , if 5 people had their cell phone stolen , how would the Police know who is the owner of the 2 phones that they recovered ? If they don’t ask for proper identification of the property it could go to the wrong person .
From my experience, RCIPS can’t even manage to accurate record robberies, let alone keep a database of what’s been stolen. I’ve been broken into twice, the most recent almost 12 months ago, and they still are not able to produce police reports for either. Every time I call, the report is not ready.. and they seem so unaware of it that I honestly believe the attending officer has not bothered to log the incidents properly. Thousands of dollars of property stolen, zero assistance from the police.
Those sound like burglaries, not robberies…
What is the timeframe of when the items were found? I have been waiting 2 years to recover anything, such as what I identified.
