PHILIPSBURG:--- At least 10 vehicles with a number of TBO and RST Officers flocked the home of UD Leader Theodore Heyliger on Tuesday morning in Guana Bay where they conducted house searches and arrested him. Heyliger is one of the suspects in the ongoing LARIMAR investigations. On January 29th and 30th, the investigators searched the business place and homes of George Pelgrim and Ron Elferink, the two men were in pretrial detention for 10 days before they were released.
SMN News was reliably informed that even though the team of officers went to the UD Leader’s home before 7 am they left his residence after midday with the suspect as they were searching his residence for potential evidence.
Last year the TBO team also arrested Jan Henrick Boekar and searched the Windward Road Office as they began the LARIMAR investigation. Also arrested in this case was Ronald Masdaam a key person that linked several politicians in a corruption investigation.
The spokesman for the TBO Roderick Gouverneur confirmed the arrest. He said no further details until later today.
Suspect T.H. (48) was arrested by the Anti-corruption Taskforce (TBO) this morning, February 19, 2019. The suspect has been placed in pre-trial detention. More information will be provided later today.
