That is the criminal ring used to import everything ILLEGAL to this country ......... from cars to guns, boats to furniture ........... The Customs Department has too many loopholes and too many of the customs officers are corrupt ...... the next government should introduce mandatory financial reporting legislation for everyone who works for government ...... from the GG to the janitor ....... There is too much corruption in the public sector ...... Too much public finances go unaccounted for because of corruption ....... The Treasury barely collects 50% of its revenue in a good year

Ironically I saw Bradley Roberts about 2 weeks back driving through Palmdale in a BMW with no license plate or disc affixed to the car. I wonder if this would happen to be the same vehicle in question!? These crooked pieces of sh*t need to be locked up. How come these jokers don't have to answer to the law, but if my license is expired for merely 1 day I am written up immediately! VOTE THIS SOB's OUT BEFORE IT IS TO LATE!

Agreed!

So if The Tribune exposing Dion D. Smith as the owner of a stolen vehicle why is it withholding the name of the bank that allegedly sold it to him? And how was the car returned to the US? Would someone go through the trouble of taking a car out of the country, across the ocean, then leaving it abandoned on some highway? The US had a policy where preowned vehicles had to remain at the port for at least 3 weeks before they could be shipped out of the country. Then what with all the thousands of used vehicles coming from Japan every year? How many of them are stolen? Many persons, too have been ripped off with cars coming from Japan. Some with serious mechanical problems that the car had to be dumped because it was too costly to fix

No bank sold it to Dion , that's his word .He got it from the criminal ring that were renting cars and shipping them here,probably free for getting them through custom .What the idiots did not realize ,BMW or Budget had a GPS on the car the crooks could not find ..He shipped it back and dumped it once he figured it out ,Bet you a grand Dion ain,t going to Miami any time soon lol

So what we already new the PLP is using Glenys Hand Held's department to wash vehicle's registry's and to further add to confusion they don't bother with registering them because you may pull over one of these crooked arse politicos but the smart cop (even stupid ones) ain't gonna right the ticket. And as usual Mad Brad is spreading lies to further confuse the issue.....vote for me i ga getcha one nice new BMW.

And the Comptroller now finds the moxy to say that his Department does not discuss confidential customs files .......... Well how did Bradley Roberts get the Mackey files and dragged him all through the political mud for 10K???????

God does not like ugly (BBBrad)

Exactly. They gave out Mackey info. Jokey leaders.

There was an effort several years ago to not only do technical inspections, but also environmental inspections (clean air or pollution testing). That initiative died when the FNM lost the election to the PLP.

At what cost to whom, pray tell?

Not useful as we have very low octane gas which is just above diesel in its ability to pollute the environment.

What are the octane numbers? I never look or do not trust displayed figures.

Mackey confessed and paid up his Customs bill ............ Dion Smith needs to face the music and answer to a public who he wants to represent (again) in Parliament .......... watsayu?????

>watsayu?????

I know that name. Apparently an FNM turncoat. Swallowed his pride, his dignity, his morals and his opinions and joined the PLP.

Comrades while there is no evidence of any direct wrongdoing by the MP, the reaction by the PLP's Chairman is a far cry to that when the policeman's dispatched an special aircraft accompanied by bulletproof vested officers to scoop-up and arrest a man on Eleuthera in connection with alleged registering to vote twice -to be flown to the capital and paraded before the media cameras as he was escorted under the guard of several heavily armed policeman's.
Comrades, there is not a single mention in this story of any local police involvement in this alleged stolen car caper?
And, this should make all you to rethink that we should trust the hanging of our citizens to this broken and twisted system?

Tal ........... admit that this PLP government is no better than a sub-Saharan African strongman dictatorship .......... take your pick of country (from Senegal to Somalia)

Mr. Smith should be arrested like the rest of us would be if we find ourselves in such a murky car deal. . .he could not get it licensed. . .he missed the bank check of the car's VIN (which all banks do for cars they finance). . .after being confronted by Mr. Roberts the car was not turned over to the Police or the owners but was re-shipped to the USA and abandoned in the street. . .all this meaning hat at least Mr. Smith and by extension, Mr. Roberts knew about a crime being committed. . .and at least being complicit in smuggling through the car being returned to the US with no authority being aware of its movement to and from the Bahamas! This man is so mixed up in this crap it een funny! He have plenty questions to answer. . .why did he not returned the car back to the bank he got the money from to finance the car purchase. . .but returned it to his "dealer". . .while still paying back the bank for a car that ended up in the USA?

Comrades! I suspect the alleged stolen BMW automobile was tracked to Nassau - by its GPS tracking device installed on the vehicle?
I have ask if the Tribune reporter contacted the policeman's for a statement? From reading this story it would seem likes not only did more than a few locals know about this automobile's tall tales - but the story didn't just come to surface?

You would be surprised at the roster of people living in Pilot House. The security guard at the gate is keeper of secrets. There is a certain prominent fellow there who has female visitors -- all wearing school uniforms. Whether they are actually school age or just playing a part for "entertainment purposes" is not clear. Pilot House is certainly an interesting place.

if the reporter has a couple of dollars to go to the registry, he will also find the liens against the homeowners for non payment of maintenance fees.

Would this be featured on any financial disclosures, i wonder.

Comrade misguided advocates for introducing PTI Centers are smoking out just another way reach into the pockets vehicle owners.
I seriously doubt people are actually importing more than a but a few cars 10 years old or older - the real dangers to the environment and saftey of others.
I am pretty sure marine engines are a much greater threat to the environment than the cars on the road which government can easily control via import regulations that would restrict imports to 10 model years or new - unless declared as an import under a special collectors car permit.

,,,,BMW....PLP....Miami....follow the money.....

Comrades! I could swear to my sweet Jesus, that this is the same Pilot House in the news back in September 2012, alleging that a certain high-profile resident had been accused of launching into a “tirade” at the building when they were in a "tirade' whilst tearing down notices, using racial slurs and leaving several fellow tenants fearing for their safety?
Must be something floating around in da air at this place?

Very pleased to see that I am not the only person with a long memory. Good to see certain points raised here. However, those seeking office at this time are far more reliant upon memories that are much shorter.
As I have quoted before" "My people are dying from lack of knowledge".
How many of the so-called "grass roots" upon whom one party in particular seems to depend heavily, are capable of disciplined reasoning and basic research? I am fairly certain that the number is quite low.

It's all too obvious that even the cursory or perfunctory investigation would quickly reveal that both Dion Smith and Bradley Roberts should be charged with a host of criminal charges in connection with this matter. But B. J. Nottage, Keith Bell and Police Commissioner Greenslade are not up to the task which means that each of them has violated their oath of office by failing to discharge their required public duties.

So crime and corruption runs rampant in the PLP. A few years ago someone said some 'higher ups' are responsible for a number of the murders that are happening in this country. When the heat is on they would lock up young, innocent men and charge them with murder. Those men use to get bail after they spent two or three years in jail. But as soon as they walked out of the prison gate they were gunned down and murdered. Then the police would come in the media and say 'he was a prolific offender ' or 'he was on bail for murder.' And so the investigation would end right there. Now a person holding one of the highest post in the executive branch of government involved in a car theft ring...can you imagine if this goes on another five years?

That's odd; I was robbed last time I rented from Budget. $100 for a Hyundai something or other. And try get your deposit lifted.....

And watch as this crook gets his seat again

also lines up with Myers' (former chairman of BCOC) whole racket with luxury cars.

God, where is death? please hurry and make it naturally. Thanks!
