In an unrelated incident, a security guard managed to apprehend a 26 year old man on Friday when he was caught stealing a microwave oven from a hotel. A guest at the hotel also assisted with the arrest of the culprit who was later handed over to the gendarmes. The suspect is summoned to appear in court in June.
The gendarmes also arrested an 18 year old during a routine control. The young driver was not in possession of his driver's license. A search of his vehicle revealed that he was carrying an undisclosed amount of cocaine and marijuana.
The gendarmes also arrested a gypsy driver who was caught transporting passengers without a driver's license and transportation permits. The unlicensed driver has to appear in court later this year.
An investigation conducted by the gendarmes showed that the man's license was suspended for one year for traffic offenses he committed. He was caught transporting 11 passengers in the Sandy Ground area on April 21.
