In too many cases, the allegations are true, but in some, the complaints are either tall tales or exaggerations.

Timothy August, a 33 year old unemployed of Dangriga Town told News 5 that the (G.S.U.) broke into his house and stole (1) MP3 player belonging to his daughter and a cell phone. He further alleged that the G.S.U. ransacked his house and damaged the front door. An investigation was conducted which determined that on the day in question, members of the G.S.U. did not visit nor search Timothy August's residence.
