Philipsburg:--- The Landsrecherche is busy conducting an investigation at the Pointe Blanche Prison confirmed Prison Director Rudsel Ricardo. Ricardo said the prisoner whom he identified as Aaron Moese was scheduled to be released on Sunday. He said Moese was entitled to $1, 255.55 since he was working while incarcerated."The money was given to one of the watch commanders (supervisor) on Friday and that person placed the money in the safe so that the prisoner would get his money on Sunday when he was released. Somehow, that money disappeared from inside the safe and there were four supervisors (watch commanders) that worked between Friday and Sunday," Ricardo said.
Ricardo said the prisoner who was deported to St. Lucia was given back his money. "Currently the Landsrecherche is investigating to see who is responsible for the theft," Ricardo said.
