The Ministry of Works’ $350,000 grader is still missing. As we told you last night, bandits stole the grader at gunpoint on Wednesday afternoon on the Young Gyal Road in Cayo – robbing the operator and tying him up in the bushes. It is believed the bandits headed for the border.
Chief Executive Officer in the Ministry of Works Cadet Henderson told us this evening that they have received a lot of leads but nothing definitive. He says they have gotten some information about who may have been involved in the theft and those names have been forwarded to the police.
It is a yellow Caterpillar brand open cab grader. It was recently refurbished and was one of two working graders in the Cayo District. It is valued at $350,000.
