DOMA urges police action after $2M theft of air conditioning and copper parts
The Downtown Owners and Merchants Association (DOMA) has called for a significant increase in police patrols following the theft of approximately $2 million worth of air conditioning units and copper parts, Google News TT — Port of Spain reports.
The stolen items, valued at $2M in total, represent a substantial loss for business owners in the affected area. DOMA's appeal reflects growing concern among merchants about security in commercial districts.
Copper theft has long been a persistent problem in Trinidad and Tobago, with the material targeted for its resale value. Air conditioning components, which contain copper wiring and fittings, are a frequent target for thieves.
DOMA's call comes as business owners push for greater law enforcement presence to deter further incidents. The association has urged authorities to deploy more officers on patrol to protect commercial properties from similar losses.
No arrests have been reported in connection with the thefts, according to the Trinidad Guardian.
