Police have detained a Newfield woman in connection with the alleged theft of a wallet outside a supermarket on Factory Road.

The investigation began after a man from Green Bay reported losing his brown leather wallet while shopping at Chase Supermarket on January 3. He later realized the wallet was missing.

The wallet contained several forms of identification and bank cards, along with EC$1,700 and US$2. The complainant explained that the wallet had slipped from his pocket when he returned to his vehicle.

Initially, he left the area, but when he returned later the same day, the wallet had been taken. This prompted him to report the incident to police.

Police emphasized that the investigation remains active and asked anyone with information to come forward. They noted that community cooperation is important in resolving such cases.

Additionally, officers stated that reviewing surveillance footage and following up on leads were crucial in identifying the suspect. This demonstrates the role of investigative work in catching alleged offenders.

The victim’s wallet reportedly included both personal identification and money, making the case a priority for police. Investigators are working to determine if any other items were involved.

Furthermore, authorities said they are carefully following procedures to ensure the investigation proceeds correctly. They confirmed that all suspects are treated according to the law during questioning and processing.

Police also reminded the public to remain vigilant with personal belongings, particularly in busy shopping areas. They encouraged residents to report suspicious activity promptly.

Overall, the police are committed to resolving the Factory Road wallet case while ensuring fairness and accuracy in the investigation.

Officers continue to work on gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing footage to support the ongoing case.
