DPS：2家塞班自助洗衣店被盗； 1 名嫌疑人面临毒品、盗窃指控

据公共安全部称，塞班岛的两家自助洗衣店是盗窃事件的最新受害者，其中一家导致肇事者受到与毒品有关的指控。

Two Saipan laundromats were recently hit by theft incidents, leading to drug-related charges for one perpetrator, the Department of Public Safety announced.

公共安全部宣布，塞班岛两家自助洗衣店最近发生盗窃事件，导致一名肇事者受到与毒品相关的指控。

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.

助理警察局长兼代理公共信息官员西蒙·T·马纳科普 (Simon T. Manacop) 表示，第一起事件发生在查兰卡诺亚 (Chalan Kanoa) 托雷斯博士大道 (Dr. Torres Drive) 的白色洗衣店 (White Laundry)。这起盗窃案于 2024 年 8 月 24 日上午报案。

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.

据 DPS 称，上午 10 点 48 分左右，一名后来被确认为 Vinny Untalan 的男性走近洗衣垫服务员，要求使用电话。当服务员离开柜台去清理烘干机时，嫌疑人趁机偷了一个装有 10.5 美元 25 硬币的袋子。

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.

监控录像证实 Untalan 就是凶手，大约 40 分钟后，他在 Chalan Piao 的 Subway 餐厅附近被发现。在他被捕期间，搜查了他的物品，发现了吸毒用具和一种甲基苯丙胺检测呈阳性的物质。因此，Untalan 现在面临盗窃和非法持有受管制物质的指控。

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，圣维森特的 Fresh Laundry 遭遇投币机抢劫，这是另一起规模更大的盗窃案。Manacop 表示，工作人员在上午 8 点 21 分注意到投币机时发现了这起盗窃案。价值 1,000 美元，内含约 2,000 美元的硬币和纸币失踪。

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.

他说，当警察查看该机构的监控录像时，显示一辆挂有北马里亚纳群岛共和国车牌“ACE-666”的红色起亚轿车于凌晨 3 点 18 分左右抵达自助洗衣店。初步勘察该地区后，该车于凌晨 3 点 25 分返回，有人看到有人将投币机拖进车内，然后逃离现场。

“These cases remain under investigation,” said Manacop. “DPS seeks the community’s assistance in putting closure to this…”

“这些案件仍在调查中，”马纳科普说。 “DPS 寻求社区的帮助来结束这一事件……”
