A disturbing video from security cameras of an employee being kicked as she lay helpless on the floor during a robbery in Mero has surfaced online.
The robbery occurred at the Greenhouse Sports Bar and Grill, located on the Mero Highway, during the wee hours of Sunday 21st February.
The grainy, black and white footage shows, at least, three masked men storming the business place with guns and threatening customers and employees.
The first man entered with what appeared to be a handgun.
He was followed by another who held what appeared to be a bigger gun. That man went straight to the counter, however, an employee was in his way. The man then proceeded to kick and stamp on the employee as she lay frightened and helpless on the floor.
He then proceeded to grab what appeared to be a cash register and other items behind the counter.
The men soon made good their escape.
Previous reports of the matter indicate the owner of the establishment, Jameson Johnson, sustained injury to his left leg, hands, face and right arm while trying to escape from the scene.
The gunmen stole the cash register of the business place and cell phones of employees and patrons.
Crime Stoppers Dominica has called on anyone with information on the crime to call 1-800-TIPS [8477] or submit a tip online at www.crimestoppersdominica.org.
All calls to Crime Stoppers Dominica are answered by a professionally trained attendant at a call center outside of Dominica. The identity of the caller is never revealed and the call is free. All information is then transmitted to the police to take necessary action.
CCTV cheap these days. Dominica need to invest heavily. Police patrols which is such a simple but effective solution still not implemented in dca. No stop and search. No road blocks at random to search vehicles. Not to mention we already know the criminals. I think the police commissioner should have to report to someone with a project management background with the aim of hitting targets. I don’t know what targets our police working towards or if they even have a strategy in place.
We all know what target they have the police working towards. Tunnel visioned on marijuana, while many countries are working on legalizing the plant freeing up police resources to help cut down and solve serious crimes as such. We got it.
Dat is not alu dam bisness how we get our money
It beggars belief that people is blaming the PM for every unsavory thing that happens in the country. The PM is working his butts off to build this beautiful land of ours whereas the opposition does absolutely nothing to enhance the quality of life in the country all I can say keep on spewing this venom of HATE against a good man and it is going to fall right back on you and your family. Every day is a RORO nothing positive to say about the country. WHAT A SHAME
When a country has no jobs,no income generation or wealth and they see the top1% getting richer, what do you expect?
Not more crime! Not more drug trafficking?
Or are you one of them feeding at the trough?
Or are you one who is totally blinded and refuses to face the truth that this country is spiraling downwards?
The PM working his butts off??? Traveling PM living the life of luxury. Is out of state 90% of the time!
You are so right Sir”everyday is a RORO and nothing positive happening”
Take your head out of the sand and pray for enlightenment.
These criminals are heartless. Even kicking a woman employee? I guess you do not love your mother and sister; no woman for that matter.
Nothing lasts forever. Many are praying for you to be caught. One day you will be caught. What is more, God knows you and what you have done. Your due punishment is forthcoming and sooner than you expect.
You think you can keep hiding? You will soon be snuffed out. Your actions will be out in the open someday.
Due to your wicked actions, you have written your name in the Book of Damnation.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Vengeance is Mine. I will repay!”
\”Crime is under control \” said Officer Carbon, and Dominica lived happily ever after, THE END.
This robbery could have been avoided if only they had some one montioring the camera …..they cold have seen the the gum gum men come thru the doors and call the cops ASPS.
papa God what happen to our people?why they don’t go and work.i wish they will get them and put lick of gun all under their belly.
These guys need a quarte Sunday PRAY in a quarte la lune, in a quarte chemin. Boss their A and send them to Monday LOST FOR EVER.
Thugs.
go to hell go to hell no law to stop them
Strange the robbed a place that held a few gathering for the opposition. The photo is black and white but I can see the color in that
Imagine the Owner / Employer ran and left the women to be kicked and trampled on like old rag dolls..
If that place chooses to remain open at those hours, the paid security of the police or armed security should be present, in light of the fact these voodlums are so desperate.
Dominica has become the Gaza Strip.
What a shame on those petty modaras who piss venegar and breathe out zinc.
OMG BLACK SEGATOKA you made me laugh. “cylinder for you” smh. My sweet Dominica is getting sour
if the police is smart they will look closer at the video and question the two male employee. their re actions at the time dont add up
I glad they post the surveillance pix…yall stupid. …don’t u guys know this will assist in d investigations. ….look at the features of the gun man…tattoo on his right foot. .with this gray shoe…somebody out there must know who that is
The only evil/crime left for Dominicans to practice is cannibalism – And it’s coming to that.
you late! We start already
My granny, would always say to me , the jail will never be empty. After this feller is caught, can you imagine what would happy to me, if this lady was my sister.
The Boss is only concerned about himself and fam-lee and designer clothing. What more, what else are Dominicans waiting to happen before we take to the streets and send the Boss parking? Yet, the Taliban gave eem a piece uh paper calling eem Duck-tor!!!!
Eat em You jealous …. did he tell anyone of you to go rob???? come on give me a break .. Always blaming someone when you make mistakes. We all have to stand before the Creator ourselves and he will not ask us about PM, or other persons. Persons need to take responsibilty for their actions. They have a free will to choose. High time to search inside and take your responsibilty for what you choose.
Who do you care about yourself???? You have not felt sympathy for the lady and business owner but you talking about someone who doesnot care. So he alone that can care? What about you what you care about? You want to take to the streets. Have you heard yourself? What are you doing for yourself….. only hating and getting jealous of what persons have. You sound so because you talking of Designer Clothes … Who likes more designer clothes than those who work nowhere … just sitting and hating… who thinks that everything comes free and then turn around and hate what people have. Do you know that the bank is there for you as well. Come with a business plan. Those who seem well to do may well have a bank Loan or other loan. But they are ambitious , trying something and paying their loan hoping to pay off one of this day. But you seat on your computer and write negative things so how do you expect to prosper being negative and hateful???
Positive talk.
It is ridiculous, ignorance and wickedness to blame the PM for robberies in Dominica. He does not have the criminals’ minds. The devil has them. They gave him full permission of their life. Go and talk to him.
What has he done in all these years in office to combat crime in Dominica? Can you say? All criminals in Dominica get bailed; sometimes even without asking for it. Give me a break.
poor i was soo afraid but we were left alone am now pohoneless.. m,y life was at risk . poor my country justice needs to be served.
Every time I look at that video I am raging with anger, to see I spoke to my friend in the evening and for that to happen to her later in the night while trying to make an honest living as the bread winner for her family….. hmmmmm that’s real sad, its time we as Dominicans look out for our neighbors, who would like to know that happen to any member of their family, and after he took the money and cell phones, he still had the gun pointed on her…… Every time I see a tall guy with short pants on, I am looking at his legs, there is also a saying 99 days for the rubber one day for the watchman, that early Sunday morning Greenhouse was rubbed, to the three guys that did that act all I can say is “Time will tell’, your day must come , someone WILL catch you all…….
It is robber. Would let it slide but best I point out to help u fix your next post
Do u think he is going to wear short pants all the time? Of course he is going to cover his tatoo .
Look like a tattoo on the leg.
Man hungry and all must eat. That’s just the beginning
Eat em You jealous …. did he tell anyone of you to go rob???? come on give me a break .. Always blaming someone when you make mistakes. We all have to stand before the Creator ourselves and he will not ask us about PM, or other persons. Persons need to take responsibilty for their actions. They have a free will to choose.

When people get fed up and start taking the law into their own hands I hope you will be as supportive. Dominican people not no pushovers these guys just taking their foot now cuz only they have guns. Just take all you time
You are a real Sociopath. If you hungry go to work. The haitians working though whilst most of you say you hungry is only stay on the block, deal ilegal items, hate those who work hard for what they have and envious, jealous and hateful. A lazy man should not eat … not me that say that it is in Proverbs.
Are you one of them? All must eat but not at the expense of stealing from hardworking people and by kicking and injuring them.
These are lazy and wicked people who want to live off the avails of others.
God’s Commandment: “Thou Shalt Not Steal” and “Love one another.” Woe to those who violate the Law of God. Their day is indeed coming. They will regret it. They will not escape.
Pretty certain that YOU are one of the THUGS. What happen to WORKING for food?
Ae you encouraging this type of actions ?If so then you are part of it.
This may seem insensitive but put the video out there and allow someone who knows them by voice or their walk and mannerisms can call crime stoppers. I’m sorry but that seems to be the only thing to do because you guys have no leads right now.
Skerrit, I want my country back
You have a country Delvin Castro? What are you doing? at least the PM doing something even if is not all you want . May God bless this young man whom you all hate for no reason. Your time coming for you to be in some position and you will feel what he felt when you were hating him. Stop the hate … Stop the jealousy… Stop the envy and love one another. We need love for each other before we all likewise perish.
@?????????? But why are you so defensive of skeritt, nuh? You are scared that one day there will no longer be a RED clinic? The supply will run very low one of these days and all you shall find out. Defend your country, and not an abuser of it.
Amen.
You do not appear to have any intelligence and consideration.
What does Skerrit has to do with that? Castro come to your senses and post a more sensible comment.
I hope the police have the technology to enhance these bastards face,and am saying too you cowards kicking a woman like that.god is watching and you all lives are numbered.Its a matter of time.The tattoos can easily be identified.TIME WILL TELL SHORTLY.
They are heaping a lot of eternal burning coals on their heads. They will find out and experience it one day.
These criminals know that their sentences will be at the least at the minimal, because there is an established pattern of leniency by those magistrates in almost every case, when it comes to these types of crimes. Stiffer sentences MUST be applied.
when you see criminal do your mom that ……. mom are work hard to put back and neck on the table …… and you do her that
boss man cylinder for you …. 
Sad, just sad.
That tatto put a police officer on every street corner to look for that tattoo on the right leg. This is the evidence the police need
*sarcastically* You are so smart!
All the guy have to do is to just start wearing long pants only.
Is this really Dominica? DNO thank you so very much. I always thought that “No law, no constitution” speech that was followed by “go to hell, go to hell, go to hell” would have serious implication on Dominica, but I did not think it would be so soon.
Furthermore, I also felt the unfair manner in which the police and to certain extent government (since they did not push the police to act swiftly) dealt with the GON Emmanuel matters would harm the nation, but I did not think its effect would be felt so soon.
DNO I am also hearing there might be some video recordings where sexual assaults are concerned and I wish you would try to put them out too. It’s time to grab the Bulls that are destroying us by the horn and show them we will stand for our country, no matter what and who is involved. Thanks again DNO
In as much as I want to see the faces of the sexual perpetrators, we both know it is not ethical to ask for the videos to be published. It is only going to cause more pain and damage to the victim, and no law would ever uphold that. Did you even think before you typed? Heartless human!
@Yes Fada, can you all not even take a joke? Can you not understand I am just joking and trying to let the public know no matter how disturbing these videos are, there are even more disturbing ones that are too heartbreaking to be put out? Common guys, just learn to relax
very heartless
Not heartless, ignorant.
You want DNO to feed your pedophile fetish? I think you are more sick and perverted that the perpetrators to even think of asking for that to be published.
Criminal Enterprise, I fail to get the “joke” from your first comment. Please do not bother enlightening us any further. Thanks
This has absolutely nothing to do with criminals and their wicked activities. If you have intelligence, use it.
Solve your GON case your self….
