THE palatial upper St Andrew home of deposed Tivoli Gardens don, Christopher 'Dudus' Coke was burgled this week. Police remain tight-lipped about the incident but confirmed that several appliances and items of clothing were stolen.

Quick action by the St Andrew North Police resulted in the recovery of several of the stolen items.

"We recovered some of the stuff including three flat screen televisions, other appliances and clothes. We will not say where the goods were recovered in order to protect the residents of that community," a senior cop in the division told the Observer.

Coke's three-storey house is located in the upscale community of Plantation Heights.

The cops say they have increased their presence in the area after they received information that several thugs loyal to Coke were seen there.
