The New National Party regrets to inform the general public that its headquarters on Lucas Street has been broken into by an intruder.

Hours after the Government released a statement regarding the defacing of its billboard at the Sugar Mill roundabout last week, the NNP OFFICE was then the venue for an intruder.

Fortunately for us, a police patrol vehicle while traveling down Lucas Street spotted someone looking rather suspiciously coming from the side gate of the NNP office and carrying a large black garbage bag, nervously clutched to the front of his body.

We were later informed by the police that the intruder was startled by the coincidental presence of the police and therefore ran into the bushes, after dropping the large garbage bag which contained our main frame computer and other office items.

This is now the third forced entry into the NNP office for this year and we find it strangely coincidental that this break-in and the recent defacing of our Government's billboard did occur not too long after the NDC's public meeting last Sunday at the Sugar Mill roundabout.

We also find it strangely coincidental that the NDC leadership would occupy its time to discuss a simplistic matter of a billboard and simultaneously to find it necessary to remind its supporters 'not to deface the NNP billboard'.

The public therefore needs to be reminded that the said leadership of the NDC is well known to have made several inflammatory and inciteful statements during and after the last general elections and more recently at its public rally which may have caused one or two misguided supporters to be stirred up or encouraged into wrongful and illegal actions. The NDC leadership cannot distance itself from the misguided actions of its few supporters when it fails to refute statements such as ' we shall make your government UNgovernable' and allow other known elements to be on its platform to endorse and make similar statements.

We are therefore urging the police to investigate this recent break-in and we equally urge the public to provide any clues to the police on these two incidences.
