Two teenagers have been arrested for allegedly stealing a £100 spend local card from another teenager.
It happened in the Millennium Town Park at around 7pm on Friday.
The 18-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl were arrested on suspicion of larceny and have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
The cards were distributed from Wednesday 9 September to help stimulate the island's economy.
Around £250,000 had been spent in the first couple of days.
Anyone who doesn't get their card by tomorrow is asked to get in touch with Social Security.
