This afternoon’s conversation with BDF General David Jones also gave us an opportunity to ask him about the reports of the big money burglary at his residence at Price Barracks.
It happened two and a half weeks ago, and police told us that he started to make an official compliant at the Ladyville police station, but then he never finished it. We were also told that $30,000 dollars in cash was stolen.
We’ve been trying to get a comment from him, but he didn’t respond to our requests. So today, we asked again. This time, the General told us that he isn’t prepared to share any specifics. Here’s how he explained why:
Daniel Ortiz
"We have received reports that your home was burglarised and a large quantity of cash had been stolen. Are you able to share details with us on that?"
Brig. Gen David Jones - Commander, BDF
"Well I have not formally give any report as to how much was stolen from my house. I've heard rumours out there but the police are doing the investigation, I'm not going to comment on it."
Report
"Can you confirm however whether or not you are present in country at the time that this incident took place?"
Brig. Gen David Jones - Commander, BDF
"Well I can say I was out of the country when that occurred."
Reporter
"And the discovery was made while you were away or when you returned was when you discovered your place had been broken it?"
Brig. Gen David Jones - Commander, BDF
"It was after I arrived."
Ladyville police have classified him as a non-cooperating complainant.Â
We’ll, show you more from the General later as he and Defense Minister served the men and women of the BDF at their annual Christmas luncheon.
