The Police’s Agricultural Protection Branch (APB) has bolstered its operational presence in farming communities in preparation for the anticipated surge in praedial larceny.

Commanding Officer of the APB Senior Superintendent Oral Pascoe, stated that the increase in patrols across all five policing areas is strategic and is crucial as the country approaches the yuletide season.

He said this strategic enhancement directly addresses the historical trend of increased praedial larceny, during this period.

He revealed that criminals engaging in praedial larceny will be targeted.
