Investigations have commenced into an allegation of robbery which occurred at the ACS 7-11 Supermarket in Pottersville on Sunday, November 4.
According to reports from Police PRO, Acting Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste, the incident occurred at about 9:00 pm.
He said it was reported that two individuals wearing masks, each armed with a firearm entered that business place and stole an unspecified amount of cash.
Jno Baptiste stated that during the incident one round was discharged.
Meanwhile, owner of the establishment, Julius Timothy told state-owned DBS Radio that the men made good their escape with a little over $3,000.
He said one individual was injured after he was hit on the head with the butt of a gun by one of the masked men after he was confronted.
“But it’s nothing major, just a little bruise and he is alright. Everybody else is alright,” Timothy said.
Investigations are ongoing.
Well this one was a real gun!! Live round came out!!
The way I look at Dominica. Only one set have dere Security but the Public never have. Look at the 39 New Police Officers came from myths Trainning half Morne Bruce what General and what Traffic. I still don’t see the point. Blackmoore said with his mouth 2am 6am won he drive around the City and no Uniform Police and the 39 New Police Graduating will be on the street of roseau, where then? When might fall they home CID alone taking there lash all night.
There are two many unsolved crimes on this little Island that are unsolved, so let’s solve some of the stale ones first and we will see what happens to the others let us start with GUN EMMANUEL AND HIS WIFE, etc
We are seeing the manifestation of the no law no constitution
Skerrit is not doing enough, u need to get more involved in the communities. As leader of the country u need to inspire people.
the sad thing is when they are caught, some good lawyer always run to their defense and say that they are first time offenders, they have little children, they are the bread winner of their familes and all that non-sense talk. these people are killers and should be dealt with accordingly with the harshest measures.
That happen under the big tree at the entrance of Felix lane , two weeks ago. Two men in masks and carrying guns. It may be the same gentlemen doing that. Just threating people with fake guns. The authorities must rise up and do something before it escalates. They are around the Goodwill area. Catch them fast and put them in jail.
These are not gentlemen!
Fake guns don’t discharge bullets!!!
There seems to an increase in crime. HAVE THE POLICE RELEASED A REPORT ON THESE TRENDS AND WHAT THEY PROPOSE TO DO ABOUT IT???
Normally I’m not the first one to defend the police, but they’ve added to their numbers lately and their presence in town seems more visible now than in years past. Moreover, the police cannot do it alone, the community must help, and you know that someone out there knows who these bandits are and isn’t saying.
Hope that someone can come forth with information
Hope that the injured will pull through
