A cage with birds were among the stolen items recovered by the police during a 12-hour raid in Guanaboa Vale and Kitson Town areas of St. Catherine on Sunday.

The Star visited the Guanaboa Vale Police Station and saw several of the stolen items, which included electric saws, fans, computers, lighting fixtures, keyboards, stereo system, DVD players, televisions, amplifiers and other appliances. There was also a table and several chairs, and a cage with four pigeons.

According to Detective Corporal Kirk Roache, within the last month, several complaints of housebreaking, robberies and sacrilege were committed in the area, and following consultation with his superior a search warrant was given to the police and the 12-hour operation was conducted.
