place on Friday evening.

Around 6 p.m. the horse carriage, driven by a 35-year-old Smith's Parish man, was travelling west along Harrington Sound Road when it was in collision with a white truck.

Police understand the mishap occurred when the truck pulled out onto the road from a private driveway and startled the horse.

The horse then bolted, dragging the buggy and driver behind. The driver suffered cuts to his elbows, shins and head while the horse sustained lacerations to all four legs.

Thieves targeted both ends of the Island over the weekend -- a house in Sandys Parish and a construction site in St. George's.

In the first incident, a diamond solitaire ring, a four-stone opal gold ring, a diamond gold cluster ring, two sapphire diamond rings and two diamond sapphire jacket rings were stolen from a home along the Railway Trail in Sandys Parish.

And between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday two drills and a cellular phone were taken from a construction site on Smith's Hill Road.

Police are investigating a break-in and theft from a home in Pembroke early on Sunday morning.

The male complainant told Police he locked his Tablerock Lane home around 5 a.m. and went to sleep.

He said he awoke some two hours later to see a man run past the foot of his bed and out the back door.

The complainant said a black leather waist pouch containing both a gold and silver full-length finger rings, two black star sapphire stones, an undisclosed quantity of cash and other personal items were stolen.
