HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — A man was charged in connection to a string of thefts after he was accused of stealing an e-bike, a $70,000 Rolex watch and a woman’s personal belongings on the beach.
On Nov. 20, 2023, at about 8 a.m., Guam Police Department officers responded to a disturbance at a Sinajana residence where a man accused Brian Josh San Nicolas Parkinson, 34, of damaging the man’s father’s gate.
According to a magistrate’s complaint, the day before the report was made, the man said he noticed the “no trespassing” signs were taken off the cement fence of his father’s residence and on the ground. The cement fence was also damaged.
A witness then told the man that Parkinson was seen the night before damaging the fence and signs. Parkinson was evicted from the residence by the man two weeks before because Parkinson allegedly “thrashed” the place.
Responding officers, upon arriving to the residence, saw the fence was damaged and the signs on the ground.
A month and a half later, on Jan. 4, police responded to a theft complaint at another Sinajana residence where a man said Parkinson had stolen his $70,000 Rolex watch.
According to the magistrate’s complaint, the man told officers at about 6 p.m. Parkinson came to the man’s residence and asked the man if he could verify the numbers on the watch and see if it was real. The man then agreed, handed Parkinson the watch, who looked at it before suddenly running to his bike and taking off with the watch.
The man then drove his car to catch up to Parkinson but eventually lost sight of him before seeing Parkinson ditch the bike and run behind a residence.
Two months later, on March 3, documents state GPD responded to a third complaint from a Sinajana residence where another man accused Parkinson of stealing his e-bike worth $1,000 in front of the residence. The man’s surveillance footage showed Parkinson at around 3:29 a.m. picking up the e-bike and walking out from under the canopy under where the bike had been located.
A fourth theft was also reported in Parkinson’s charging documents on March 29 at about noon, in connection to a complaint made at Ypao Beach. According to the complaint, a woman placed her belongings on the sand and went swimming in the beach to come back and discover her belongings, which included passports, cellphones, credit cards and hotel keys, were gone.
Parkinson was found Saturday evening in Tumon and allegedly had the woman’s belongings in his possession.
In speaking with police, Parkinson allegedly admitted to damaging the gate of the Sinajana residence and taking the Rolex watch. As for the e-bike, Parkinson said he did not have it and that he “got rid of it a long time ago,” according to the complaint.
Parkinson was charged with theft as a second-degree felony, theft of property as a third-degree felony, criminal mischief and theft by receiving stolen property as misdemeanors.
According to Post files, Parkinson was indicted in connection to a 2017 heist at the Rolex boutique in Tumon, which led GPD to one of the largest prescription drug busts in island history. Parkinson took a two-year deferred plea agreement in March 2021 in the case, which meant the case would be dismissed and his record expunged if he complied with all conditions of release for two years.
