Police in Jamaica are trying to hunt down a group of thieves, suspected of stealing hundreds of tons of sand from a beach on the northern coast of the island.
Hundreds of truck-loads of sand went missing in July from Coral Spring beach but so far no arrests have been made and detectives now suspect the tourism industry might be to blame, seeing as it could add value to their businesses.
The BBC reported that due to the high demand for sand in Jamaica for hotel resorts that is why the sector is being investigated.
Because there have so far been no arrests over the months, now the government is worried there may have been a cover up within the police force.
Prime Minister Bruce Golding is now cracking down on the investigation, ordering forensic tests on the coastal beaches to test it against the stolen sand.
