公共安全部宣布，塞班島兩家自助洗衣店最近發生竊盜事件，導致一名肇事者受到與毒品相關的指控。

Assistant chief of police and acting public information officer Simon T. Manacop said the first incident occurred at White Laundry on Dr. Torres Drive, Chalan Kanoa. The theft was reported on the morning of Aug. 24, 2024.

助理警察局長兼代理公共資訊官員西蒙·T·馬納科普(Simon T. Manacop) 表示，第一起事件發生在查蘭卡諾亞(Chalan Kanoa) 托雷斯博士大道(Dr. Torres Drive) 的白色洗衣店(White Laundry)。這起竊案於 2024 年 8 月 24 日上午報案。

At approximately 10:48am, a male individual, later identified as Vinny Untalan, approached the laundrymat attendant and asked to use the telephone, according to DPS. As the attendant stepped away from the counter to tend to the dryers, the suspect took the opportunity to steal a bag containing $10.50 in quarters.

據 DPS 稱，上午 10 點 48 分左右，一名後來被確認為 Vinny Untalan 的男子走近洗衣墊服務員，要求使用電話。當服務生離開櫃檯清理烘乾機時，嫌犯趁機偷了一個裝有 10.5 美元 25 硬幣的袋子。

Surveillance footage confirmed Untalan as the culprit, and he was located about 40 minutes later near the Subway restaurant in Chalan Piao. During his arrest, a search of his belongings revealed drug paraphernalia and a substance that tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine. As a result, Untalan now faces charges for both theft and illegal possession of a controlled substance.

監視器畫面證實 Untalan 是兇手，大約 40 分鐘後，他在 Chalan Piao 的 Subway 餐廳附近被發現。在他被捕期間，搜查了他的物品，發現了吸毒用具和一種甲基安非他命檢測呈陽性的物質。因此，Untalan 現在面臨盜竊和非法持有受管制物質的指控。

In a separate and more substantial theft, Fresh Laundry in San Vicente was hit by a coin machine heist in the early hours of Aug. 28, 2024. Manacop said that the theft was discovered by staff at 8:21am when they noticed the machine, valued at $1,000 and containing approximately $2,000 in coins and bills, was missing.

2024 年8 月28 日凌晨，聖維森特的Fresh Laundry 遭遇投幣機搶劫，這是另一起規模更大的盜竊案。了這起竊盜案。

He said that when officers reviewed the establishment’s surveillance footage, it showed a red Kia sedan, bearing a CNMI license plate “ACE-666,” arriving at the laundromat at around 3:18am. After initially surveying the area, the vehicle returned at 3:25am, and an individual was seen dragging the coin machine into the car before fleeing the scene.

他說，當警方查看該機構的監視器畫面時，顯示一輛掛有 CNMI 車牌「ACE-666」的紅色起亞轎車於凌晨 3 點 18 分左右抵達自助洗衣店。初步勘察該地區後，該車於凌晨 3 點 25 分返回，有人看到有人將投幣機拖進車內，然後逃離現場。
