SENIOR INVESTIGATORS at the Hunts Bay Police Station in Kingston say they are pursuing strong leads into a major break-in at the warehouse of Toyota Jamaica Limited on Spanish Town Road from which parts, reportedly worth millions of dollars, were stolen.

Head of the St Andrew South police, Superintendent Delroy Hewitt, told The Gleaner on Friday that thugs dug through a wall at the back of the facility and gained access to the warehouse where scores of new motor vehicles were kept. More than 50 vehicles were broken into and parts stolen.

Hewitt said the police are conducting an intensive search to recover the stolen motor-vehicle parts.

John Connell, managing director of the company, was tight-lipped when The Gleaner contacted him on Friday. However, after being pressed for a comment, the managing director confirmed that new security measures had been put in place to prevent a recurrence. Connell said the parts taken were insured.
