Thieves escaped with $130,000 in cash and jewelry during a break-in at a poultry business in San Fernando Sunday night.

Businessman Edward Indar said he lost the cash and about $100,000 in jewelry after the break- in. The electronic items were left behind.

’They stole my wedding band and even the diamond ring my mother gave me before she died,’ he told the Express yesterday. The money was from his weekend sales and was taken from an office adjacent to the depots.

Indar said he secured his businessplace around 7 p.m. on Sunday and returned 6 a.m. yesterday to find the burglar-proofing cut and the items missing. He was at his Penal home at the time of the robbery. The depots are located at Duncan Village, San Fernando.

Indar said there was an increase in crime in the area with other businessplaces being robbed.

Police officers, including fingerprinting experts, visited Indar’s businessplaces yesterday.
