Car found 15 years after being stolen

BESSON Street police found a silver Nissan B14 car in the Western Division this morning, 15 years after it was reported stolen.

Police mounted a roadblock between 5 am and 9 am along the Eastern Main Road, near the Success Laventille Secondary School.

When they stopped the car, two of the three men inside ran away and escaped. Police caught a 21-year-old man who also tried to escape.

Police said the car was reported stolen by its owner in 2004.
