    Man Admits to Entering Housing Ministry Annex via Open Window

    Published on

    In a surprising turn of events, a 39-year-old man, identified as Devon Hubbard, has admitted to entering the Housing Ministry’s Annex in Georgetown through an open window. The incident occurred on March 2, and Hubbard was arrested by detectives acting on information received.

    According to reports, Hubbard entered the annex at approximately 00:22 hours, arriving on a blue BMX pedal cycle. He was captured on CCTV footage entering the premises and later exiting with a black haversack and a white box. Despite the office being found ransacked, no items were reported missing or stolen.

    Hubbard, a resident of Garnett Street in Georgetown, confessed under caution that he entered the annex via an open window on the second flat of the building. He claimed that he picked up a bag but maintained that it contained nothing stolen. Hubbard is expected to face charges related to the incident.

    The break-in was discovered by a cleaner who arrived at the annex on the morning of March 3. The cleaner found a door on the middle flat open and the office in disarray. An investigation was promptly launched, with police reviewing CCTV footage and conducting interviews with multiple individuals.

    The Housing Ministry has assured the public that all records and files remain intact and accounted for. The incident has been described as a random act of burglary, with the suspect managing to gain entry through a window in a secluded area without being detected by security personnel.

    This incident comes amid recent controversy surrounding the Housing Ministry, including the allocation of prime commercial lands and the sudden resignation of the CEO of the Central Housing and Planning Authority. However, officials have emphasized that the break-in appears unrelated to these issues.
