To­ba­go po­lice are still search­ing for the ban­dits who stole 77 cas­es of Rude Boy al­co­holic drinks from the Mil­ford 24 Gas Sta­tion in Bon Ac­cord.

The break-in hap­pened around 2 a.m. on Thurs­day. While some of the loot was found near­by, most of it—worth over $34,000—re­mains miss­ing.

A se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cer dis­cov­ered the south­ern stor­age con­tain­er open, with one bro­ken case of Rude Boy on the floor. An op­er­a­tions man­ag­er lat­er con­firmed that 90 cas­es—val­ued at $40,704—had been stored in­side.

Lat­er that day, 13 cas­es were found dumped in a bushy area about 100 feet from the gas sta­tion. The re­main­ing 77 cas­es van­ished with­out a trace.

Crime Scene In­ves­ti­ga­tors and of­fi­cers from Crown Point and Shir­van CID searched the area and re­viewed sur­veil­lance footage.

Cam­eras were found, but none faced the con­tain­er.

As of Sat­ur­day, po­lice are still track­ing the ban­dits and the miss­ing stock of Rude Boy.
