The monitoring center has lost track of a drug suspect who was tagged with an ankle bracelet as a condition of his bail, The Nassau Guardian has learned.

David Colebrook, who has two pending drug trafficking cases, reportedly failed to charge his bracelet weeks after a judge refused to order the removal of the device to allow him to go fishing, according to a well-placed source.

The monitoring center lost track of Colebrook in Eleuthera, noted the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
He has also stopped reporting at the station, sources said.
Police issued a wanted poster for the 50-year-old resident of Jasmine Gardens on May 10, accusing him of violating his bail conditions.
On March 30 a number of persons, some of them on bail for murder, had their bail revoked for tampering with their bracelets.
The suspects reportedly used foil paper to interfere with the GPS tracking device.
The Free National Movement launched the electronic monitoring program in December 2010. According to a report released by ICS Bahamas, the company responsible for the monitoring program, in early March 315 persons were fitted with the device, and more than 7,100 "offender alarms" were recorded.
