Another business place has fallen prey to robbery.
The latest occurred this morning at Maximum Supplies at Fond Cole and is presently being investigated by police.
According to reports from the Public Relations Officer of the Dominica Police Force Sergeant Kenth Matthew, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, three masked men surprised two security guards while on duty.
“The masked men robbed the security guards of two cellular phones, one pair of Sebago shoes. They had them tied with duct tape and during the robbery they also took some money at Maximum Supplies. No one was injured and they made good their escape,” he said.
The incident follows a robbery at Sukies bread depot in Goodwill on Saturday night. Several other robberies had been reported this month and in the past two months.
The Police PRO said its “unfortunate that we are not able to tell the public of any real breakthrough as yet. We hope that will not continue for too long.”
“Unfortunately, most of the leads either led us to nowhere or we could not have gone too far with those leads but we are still following up,” Matthew added.
Police Chief Cyril Carrette has asked business owners to strengthen their security systems, during the Christmas season.
DOMINICAN’S please realize that the fictionalize accounts of the African American ghetto experience is based on Hollywood. Most of you have never interacted with real people from the ghetto and would not like to. Stop using the “n” word on facebook, stop using the tem “peeps”, that went out in 1994. If you cannot afford something, get a job, save your money or do without it.
To the robbers, enjoy your Sebago’s( boating shoes)on the boat that you own. They will come in handy when they send you up the river.
it is time to make an examples of those robbers. its time to make them learn to respect others property.shoot them down.
Dominica business people playing too cheap as a result putting employees lives at risk for a few bucks. crime cannot be stopped but it can be detered..you must spend money for security.A secured place puts the robbers at risk..because time is an element of gettaway.if trained people secure these businesss guys will thing twice..if they expect a challenge and the fear of death.Hire armed Off duty police in peak periods and closed down hours.
in Dominica everybody know each other, small island… except police… they dont know anyone… fascinating
The thieves are hearing of the passport sales and the non transparency and accountability. Some making millions, while the Treasury is being short-changed. Whio were brought to justice for the Rubbish Bin and fertilizer bobols? What about all those other controversial, secret deals and transactions? what about the quick enrichment by some in public office? The thieves are listening and they are taking their chances.
AND THATS THE TRUTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
WHETHER ALLU LIKE IT OR NOT!
BY THE WAY, GOVERNMENT WORKERS WHO HAVEN’T BEEN PAID….ALLU KNOW WHY….AND YOU ALL STAY THERE QUIET?????????? THE TREASURY EMPTYYYYYYY AND YOU ALL HAVE BEEN GETTING PAID ON OVERDRAFT FROM THE BANK…… COME ON PEOPLE HOW ALLU CAN BE SO WICKED TO YOURSELVES…..ALLU WAITING TO COLLECT MONEY FROM VAT TO PAY PEOPLE???
I think the police are trying their best. The community needs to work with them but since there are persons who condole the criminals, there will always be unresolved matters. Stop blaming the police, we see it takes the US police more than 10 years to solve a crime. So let us work with our police here to solve crime in a few months.
there is no way crimes can be stopped if the community is not cooperating wth the police.there is no way a robbery can happen with nobody seeing anything or hearing anything. you donot have to see the person face , what about their clothes , their shoes,their walking style, the cars and bikes that frequenting the areas.what about getaway car rentals.people please help the police .in dominica everybody knows everybody.
364 days for the rubbers,1 day for the police.
It’s time good people to get gun license in DA because bad people have them and are willing to use them to get what they want. I’m not going to be a security guard with a stick and you pointing a gun at me I will tell you take what you want my life is more important. But DA also need to get modernize by finger printing, forensic officers, CSI etc so all these things will not happen especially murderers walking free after they do what they do.
there is a problem with the Dominica Police Force. It is a serious problem and if nothing is done soon we are going to to be in a worst place come 2012.
The is no leadership. No accountability. No motivation . Who is in Charge? This is a shame. When the police take a million years to respond to calls, what do we expect?
When the police officers are not engaged what do we expect?
It is an issue of leadership. Officers need to be held accountable.
It seems like they want to actually see the crime committed to be able to solve it? Whether did they learn investigation?
Most DOMINICANS are disappointed in the police force.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TODAY.
CHANGE LEADERSHIP. THE CURRENT CHIEF IS LOST!
It’s not Marijuana pollice will never find them, just like crack and coke.
Breakthrough?? How can there be any breakthrough when they are too busy looking for marijuana?
Now these roberies totally confuse D/a police, it’s not marijuana they are lost. It’s Sad!
IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE POLICE MEN ARE
AWARE OF THE ROBBERIES WHICH INTERN TIES THEIR HANDS TO MAKE ARREST. IT COULD BE THERE KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE AS FRIENDS OR FAMILIES AND DO NOT WANT TO IMPLICATE THEM.
IT WONT SURPRISE ME IN THESE DAYS WE ARE LIVING IN. MOST PEOPLE SEEMS TO TURN THE OTHER WAY WHEN MONEY IS INVOLVE.
The robberies are continuing unabated because the criminals know the police are hopeless; they have no fear of the Police. Furthermore, when a case does actually come to the Court, the penalty for the convicted is lenient. We need to re-introduce flogging and do it in the open so people will think twice before committing crimes.
I agree with you one hundred perscent, bring back the “Cat -O- Nine”
Do you think these scumbags smoke weed and then go and do this?or get drunk on rum , to do their crap?I am starting to have a feeling this is organize crime. A group feels it is best to put the country in chaos befor they do what they plan to do.doe forget that, this thing just not adding up , check out the businesses that are targeted.the only one without physical contact is suki,just trying to do some critical thinking for the police, since they are conducting a Saul like; investigation.
This very fishy that the POLICE FORCE cannot get any information it look like these robbies might be an inside job no joke
That is dam nonsense now man.
Business owners should get firearm license and firearms for christmas
Are these robberies being carried out by the same gang? If so with all the monies taken
dont they think that they have enough for a ggod time over the Christmas/New Year period?
Time for the wives, mothers, girlfriends of these animals to say ‘STOP, we have enough cash, and before someone gets seriously hurt’.
I sincerely hope that the food and drink they purchase with their stolen loot chokes them, and anything else they purchase NEVER brings them happiness.
that’s always the case with those kinds of things. You do it once, you get away, you become addicted to it.
This a darn joke now man. Now is time to be armed and surprise these jokers when they come to rob those places. Business owners need to start protecting their security guards and businesses.
its just a matter of where next or who next to be robbed again hmmmm so our beautiful country has come,common we need to step up people unite and fight against such mayhem and injustice, SAVE D/CA, IM D/CA ARE YOU?
i think it’s time to ask the commissioner to resign… effective by this weekend
The robbers are hearing about the stalling tactics regardingf the investigation of that heinous firebombing crime against Lawyer Emanuel, his wife and the police officer who is investigating money-laundering. Denny came forward, trying to assist the police in that crime, confessed that he did the crime. He also revealed that he was facilitated by Seco. We all klnow what is going on. Such a serious, horrible criminal act, but we hear contradictory statements, all out defensive mode by those in “High Places”, defence of, protection of “Big boys? Almost 1 year ago Dominicans awoke to the horrible news of the attempted murders of those senior citizens. Up till now, NADA and Dominicans are concluding that nothing will come out of that. No justice. It depends on who are involved in that criminal act.
Those thieves are hearing of and seeing the Stalling tactics as well concerning the Emanuel vs. Isidore case and the alledged fraud involving millions of dollars. judicial review? No justice. That’s what it is. Protection for the “Big Boys.” It is plain and simple. We are no fools.
So what do we expect? Should we be surprised? The thieves are hearing of the passport sales and the non transparency and accountability. Some making millions, while the Treasury is being short-changed. Whio were brought to justice for the Rubbish Bin and fertilizer bobols? What about all those other controversial, secret deals and transactions? what about the quick enrichment by some in public office? The thieves are listening and they are taking their chances.
99 DAYS FOR THE THIEF AND ONE DAY FOR THE WATCHMAN. ROBBERS HAVE YOUR FUN NOW BUT, ONEDAY LUCK WILL RUN OUT. JUST A MATTER OF TIME. GOOD THINGS LAST FORVER BUT, BUT BAD THINGS DISSOLVE AWAY. JUST LIKE A PASSING CLOUD. GIVE UP YOUR FOOLISHNESS AND STOP PUTTING FEAR IN YOUR CITIZENS LIFE INCLUDING YOURS.
If Carrette cannot get any breakthrough in any of these cases within the next 10 days he should be asked to resign.
If he can’t handle the job we need to get someone who can. It’s that simple!
We need a top Cop that gets RESULTS!!
I aggre with you 100%.The police has no game plan.Come on guys.No excuses.
All I saying is if somebody you doh in your place house or business and they not there for the right reasons, one should take aggressive action and shoot the mofo or mofo’s . Point blank! Police can’t protect nobody cause whilst you there waiting for them to reach the person hurting you. I don’t think so. I just waiting you know for someone to try that crap in my house. Strapped and ready!
its a shame that these robberies are occurring but at least that will give the officers work to do. Since they refuse to do their jobs correctly such as licensing cars…because all old van and truck on the road driving and when is us the dominicans they will they jam on the road then say sorry! humph!!!!!
Why we like to blame police for crimes not being solved when you the witnessing public do not report any crime (turn a blind eye and say its none of your business)..
We do not report any suspicious activity… You do not answer the poluice questions about what you might have seen or heard…
Many people out there know who these criminals are but refuse to assist the Police Department.
All we dominicans do is watch CSI and SVU and suggest to our police to be more like a ‘TV show’…
So No, don’t blame the police blame ourselves!
I blame YOU for making me waste 30 seconds of my life reading your crap!
si i pas ni sutiweh, i pas ni voleh.
Like you said most people know who these criminals are.If a police work in a certain community how come they have any idea
Zwho these crimals are.Like I said the police can do a.
Seems like the police don’t know how to start investigating these robberies.
not even saying much. anybody that try to rob me, i don’t even want to see their face i going Haiti
that seems to b the new occupation
The security guards need to be question, last month in the USA a woman call 911 screaming saying that she was robbed, she told the investigators that as soon as she closed the business place and going to her vehicle a masked guy robbed her at gun point and too the night deposit, she mentioned the guy as being Hispanic, she said that she made a call to her manger informing him of the robbery
What she did not see coming is that the first police who arrived at the scene said that what she told him is different from what she told the other officers
The police took her into the building while two search her vehicle, only to find out the the woman hide the bag with the money way underneath the passenger seat of her vehicle, she was charged and is serving time in jail
So fellow Dominicans who knows some of this robberies could be inside jobs, the last i heard a few months ago they arrested three one student and two others from the south of the island, since then many more robberies took place and is taking place on the island for which all is being blamed on the youths, what the police need to do is do a thorough investigation and questioning of the staffs of the business places , security guards and all
with this trend in a small island as Dominica this is not good at all, Dominica need prayer and cleansing from the Almighty
This is ridiculous.. How many robberies and no arrests that says alot…
ENJOY YOURSELVES ROBBERS, ENJOY THE PROCEEDS FAMILY MEMBERS AND HIDE YOUR SONS. I HOPE WHEN THE POLICE TAKE A FEW OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH IN SELF DEFENCE OR IN PROTECTING LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT WE DONT SEE PARENTS ON TV CLAIMING HOW NICE AND HELPFUL THEIR SONS WERE. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND A FEW WILL TASTE THEIR OWN MEDICINE. STUPES.
@voice from the north…. no business person is going to get licensed firearm to engage in shooting.. would you? this is the job of the security firms.. thing is apart from platinum not much firms have staff who are licensed to carry or execute fire arms… so as far as businesses go.. they must ask of there security firms to get such services and be ready to pay for it… simple pimple
shut allu *** ,,,,,u hope it wont continue for too long..allu not doing nuting….in allu big head police…….ZOR PAKA FEH AYEHHHH…..STUPESSSSS…MORE ROBBERRIES GAN TAKE PLACE…….THAT U HEAR WI…..BUH ME FOR THEM TO ROB FOR ME TO CLAMP THEIR EYE BALLS
Unless business places begin to protect themselves and their businesses in ways in which the robbers will think twice, then those robberies will continue. I am not here saying that the businesses doing nothing or that they are encouraging thieves. What I am saying is that business must become pro-active by obtaining licensed firearms. When a few robbers are caught in the fire with some lead in their head, chest or butt, then others will think twice or maybe thrice before contemplating robbing someone’s business.
papa bonjiiiiiiiiiiii,wat is really goin on nuh….policemen start to patrol the streets and do all u wrk cuz somebody will mk an example eh of one of dem robbers..
Mr. Carrette, didn’t just read, that they’re hijacking security. Why don’t you tell the business owners to armed themselves and protect their assets by any means necessary; because your police force is unable to deal with the situation.
The judicial system in Dominica need upgrade, when caught there should be no bail for them bandits, also they need to send them up to Stock Farm for ten years plus
Them guys no that their sentence is a slap in the face for the victims so they do not care and continue doing their crime
Bring back the Douglas guy please
Officers here is your que, most of the activities are in the goodwill area. We need you to focus your attention there. Preferable under cover/plan cloths, be patient(ur being paid),they havn’t been caught, they don’t think they can be caught. They’ll try again. However, when they’re caught-keep them alive, but make sure one their body parts is missing. Mr P.M. make an announce, let the robbers know that there punishment will be death by firing squad. You got it, we mean business!
DNO, before printing your stories make sure they are correct.For your information, the guys were dressed like police officers. They were also wearing masked on their faces. Went to the guards…..beat them up and took their posessions. They ask the guards for the keys to the business, but common, the guards had no keys.
Business places look out. They thieves are loose….be on guard…..becareful when cops come poping infront your homes and properties…i am really scared. Lord help us and help Dominica
ADMIN: We go with what the police tell us….they never mentioned to us of the robbers were dressed in police clothes.
The police are pathetic.
“and is presently being investigated by police” huh? What are they doing, listening to people then just going home? Yeah that’s probably what.
So that being said…
WELCOME TO DOMINICA EVERYONE! THE ROBBERY ISLE OF THE CARIBBEAN!
