There have been increasing instances of vehicle theft at the employee parking lot of the Lynden Pindling International Airport, according to several people who work at the airport.
Airport operations employee with the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation Roshan Lewis said yesterday that she had her car stolen from the airport’s employee parking lot on Sunday.
She lamented that when she went to the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD) to ask what could be done about her missing vehicle, she was told that NAD does not accept liability for vehicles in the employee parking lot.
A sign exists at the parking lot entrance stating that NAD will not be responsible for vehicle left in the parking lot.
However, Lewis said her company pays a yearly fee for her to park in the lot and she is required to have a decal in her vehicle in order to do so.
Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade told The Guardian yesterday that there is a “huge market in The Bahamas for stolen cars and for stolen car parts to effect repairs.” He did not talk about the situation at the airport specifically.
