PHILIPSBURG — Mark Mingo is back and he wants everybody to know that he is not going anywhere. Despite his trials leading up to his acquittal for complicity in robbing the port of millions of dollars, Mingo has maintained a positive attitude. He has used his time studying law and is currently contemplating option for his future.

In an interview on the radio program The Review, Mingo declined to answer the question whether he will be a candidate in a future election. At the same time, he has emphasized that he is not going away and that he expects the government to present him with a decent settlement to compensate for the loss of his job at the harbor group of companies.

Mingo said in yet another radio-interview (with Billy D.) that he wants to keep his talks with the government about a settlement confidential.

Mingo nevertheless hinted that he might get into politics: “If I am going into politics I am going to bring back the COHO,” he said, adding that his is an issue he would want to discuss.

The former port-director also suggested to bring back the Dutch Participation Company; not to let the Dutch run the show but to arrive at a form of cooperation that is beneficial to St. Maarten.

First and foremost, Mingo said, the country needs to generate revenue, because the economy is in a shambles. He suggested to introduction of a C02-tax to strengthen the economy. “We need to start that discussion now,” he emphasized.

Another method of increasing government-revenue is by collecting taxes. Mingo suggested abolishing the RST and using its $21 million budget to bring FIOD-inspectors to the islands. These officers could help St. Maarten collect taxes.

The burglar caught on camera

Police are on the hunt for a man and his accomplice after he forcefully entered a shop in New Amsterdam, Region Six on Friday evening.

The masked burglar was caught on surveillance cameras after breaking into Shanta’s Grocery situated at Stanleytown, New Amsterdam. This is the third time in recent months that the business place has been burglarised.

Javid Benjamin called “Anthony”, speaking on the most recent incident, said his mother saw the thief in the shop when she opened to door at around 04:00h on Saturday.

“We hear the dog barking and we get up, and when we check the camera, we see the individual in the shop so I start to make noise.”

Benjamin said he alerted the intruder that he was being seen on camera as he shouted for “thief”. With that, the perpetrator hurriedly left.

Surveillance footage shows that a car was waiting outside for the perpetrator.

Benjamin revealed that the thief took about $31,000 in items from the shop.

The suspect, he added, was in the shop the day before to make a purchase. A few days prior, the suspect had also gone into the shop, Benjamin recalled.

In June, a lone intruder had broken into the shop and carried away a number of items including bags of rice and beverages.

“I did not make a report to the Police the last time,” Benjamin explained.

Trinbago Knight Riders made it two wins on the spin in the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) campaign with a nervy victory against the Jamaica Tallawahs

The Tallawahs won the toss and surprisingly opted to bat first and that decision backfired almost immediately.

Losing four wickets in the PowerPlay the Tallawahs were in trouble at 25/4 and despite a 50-run partnership between Fabian Allen and Imad Wasim too much was left to do at the back end.

116/7 never looked like it was enough but the Tallawahs fought gamely to defend the total taking out six wickets in the process.

However, Andre Russell and Akeal Hosein saw the chase home to move the Knight Riders into the top four.

Earlier on Ravi Rampaul impressed to uproot the Tallawahs batting, the seam bowler took 4/19 including three in the PowerPlay to put the Knight Riders in complete control.

The Tallawahs only had an energetic Fabian Allen half-century to thank to prevent a total collapse.

The Knight Riders made hard going of what should have been a simple chase. Openers Nicholas Pooran and Tion Webster both fell for ducks to leave the Knight Riders 0/2 in the first two overs.

But Colin Munro and Tim Seifert rebuilt the innings with a 50-run partnership.

When the pair fell in quick succession the Tallawahs had a moment of hope but Russell and Hosein ensured there would be no dramatic defeat, guiding the Knight Riders home with five balls to spare.
