Go-Jamaica Weather Watch

At least one businessman in Portland felt more than the effects of Tropical Storm Gustav, as he was not just the victim of strong winds and rain but looters.

The Gleaner team in Long Bay, Portland, while stranded for a short period at an Esso gas station, witnessed a number of persons entering premises next door.

For 15 minutes, the report indicated, men, women and the elderly went in and out of the building, which had already lost its roof, leaving with disposable diapers, a variety of beverages in crates, furniture, other food items in black plastic bags, along with empty bottles.

The line of person entering the premises only ended when the store was emptied of its products.

Police have since been alerted and Constabulary Communications Liaison
Officer, Corporal Dwayne Campbell, said he was going to make contact with The Castle police to dispatch officers
