Police are investigating another robbery involving masked men which occurred on Saturday at 4:45pm.
Police Public Relations Officer Sergeant Kenth Mathew said two masked men robbed the female attendant at the Wade Filling Station located on Grandby Street in Portsmouth.
“The men who were armed with at least one gun got away with $2,600 which was made up of some US dollars, checks and some EC dollars,” he reported.
This is the fourth robbery of a business place by armed masked men which has occurred in the past fortnight.
Two occurred last week at the J.E. Nassief on Goodwill and the McMillan Gas station in Roseau.
The other occurred at the Coca Cola outlet in Fond Cole on Tuesday, October 11.
One arrest has been made in the Coca Cola robbery.
Well give them police work to do. For years they blaming one man. (vaughn)
Thank God he not in Dominica while all this is happening. So they can see who the real criminals are. Go look for them.
So is dominica alu wanna give a bad name now? I just want them to make example out of ONE of u…..and i don’t mean life in prison……
Observer, thanks for your comments thos who do evil wil be faced with evil look at Kadafy what happen to him , they gonna robbed the wrong person and they will meet with gun fire. just watch.
Have any of you realized that the thieves are on DNO just like any of you?that the guns might not be real?that they walk into the place just like any one else?that they take off the mask as soon as they turn their backs heading towards the door/ That they walk out the door like any regular customer and walk towards the get away car with no one suspecting anything. These are pros and they are not scare to get caught.Has anyone thought that these might be inside jobs and the workers should be the first to be questioned. Think on these points.Remember the thieves are reading the post just like the rest of us.
While we want these robbers captured now the reality of it is that it can take a while before they can be captured as well as it can happen today.Give the police some time to do their work.
In this area of Portsmouth someone must have seen the getaway vehicle OR the perps running away from the filling station. It’s time too for this establishment to be updated – a surveillance camera or the register being placed behind 2″ thick plexiglass could help.
no job these things will always be happening.and they are not doing anything about it.(but) if is marijuana you will see them.start they start but they going the wrong places
Well if I was these guys I would just carry on. I mean NOTHING is being done and nothing is being said since 48 hours.
Where is the description of the getaway car? How many? What types of masks?
If we knew this they could have got these guys in hours instead of months.
This is a small island … we all see everything. just give us some info.
Forget the police… there were a lot of witnesses … come on you ppl tell us what they look like etc. This is YOUR dusty since we have an ineffective police force … we must do their job for them.
I cant understand when it comes to serious matter, no know saw and no one knows… Some evidence must be out there somewhere.. people who live near the area, people who are buying the stolen goods.
To HELLO ANY INFO, you must be an ignoramus to make such a comment. Read yor comment and examine its contents, are you making any sense. Do the police have crystal balls or are they involved in whichcraft , dont you know that the police act on information FOOL. Its just pathetic when serious acts are committed in Dominica and citizens like you hit on the police as if they were at the scene of the incidents, You need to back off and learn something about investigations. You cannot expect the police to comeon the media and disclose info and suspects and leads etc, this is not the way you investigate crime FOOL. You have removed all doubt from my mind that you are a Fool. STUPES
stupes..wth u doing with all that information? the police should be pleading with persons to come with information rather than to be giving all the details.
what fest people talkinn about, fest come fest go. creole festival does not change anyways, the festival committee fundeling the same artists year after year, wats so special about fest this year. stop talking foolishness, all this money they taking is for fest? everything for all u dominicans is blue and red.
someone rob a gas-station is a blue dat do it.
someone rob a gas-station is a red dat do it.
All u must ave been there i guess, always trying to blame someone for the wrong doings of others. PEOPLE WISE UP PLEASE AND STOP RUNNING YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU AINT SAYING NOTHING.
THIS SUITS HELLO ANY INFO PERFECTLY GREAT COMMENT.
This is my contribution on this situation,because of our greedy business owner who fail to install security camera on their property and the rise in guns and drugs,unemployment and an increase in deportes to our island and bad police leadership,robbing anywhere and i mean anywhere is like taking candy from a kid.i think it is about time the police and goverment get to the next level.the criminals are ahead ,it is time our police service increase eavesdropping,monitor gangs and cyber policing, be more vigilante. i believe before and after every robbery or drug deal a text ,an email or a phone call was made,a license vehicle with a number plate was used.the police need to find the robbers before they strike again which might be fatal,or else we need to reshuffle the police force.new and vibrant leadership,one who is computer savvy and works in the intrest of the country and the police force and not party.
You basically asking police to start harassing people, and take away many more of our freedoms? Nice.
Seems dictatorship is the new democracy. Usher in the New World Order and policed state y don’t u……
congratultions SUPERGENIUS you have just solved all our problems in one comment why dont you put these in proposal form and submit titto the PM and Chief of Police. Its a good thing there is no price to pay for talking or else you would have been paying a huge bill. stupes.
Did they have a get away car?
What model & colour?
What did they look like?
What direction did they take off to?
We will find them if the police give us some clues.
How many you folks filmed the get away on yourcell?
look big move in Da. crime is on a ram-page, as a result of unemployment, fraustration,low salary and the in equalitry of wealth, where the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. i think now our P.M will wake up and realize things are changing people want money and they are desperate for it. They will do anything nowadays but in stead stead our PM rather to take all the money he receives from foreign bodies , by builing a million dollar state palace, when there are people in need wothout a proper roof over their heads as far as homes to sleep. people our contry not getting anywhere and i am not blaming anyone for people wanting to rob someone or a business but if persons we ave chosen to represent our country are not doin wat they should and developing there pockets rather than our country Dominica then wats the use of these persons. we neede to take a stand because dieing slowly but surel until it is no more. NOW IS TA TIME FOR IT.
The way some of you are going on, you would swear is in Dominica only these crimes happen. Crimes happen the world over, the highest crime rate is in the great America and we still migrate there by the hundreds every year. Crime is on the increase everywhere. Did we expect Dominica not to follow the trend of the world? Stupes
Follow the trend? are you serious? Why would any country or nation want such a trend… you are being strictly barbaric….. they should find you and lock you up for such a stupid comment. Crime is inevitable however it should NEVER be endorsed.
Read my comment again, over work your less-than-intelligent brain and tell me where in the comment I endorsed the crime taking place. I simply made a statement of fact, that our crime rate will increase commensurate with that of the global trend. You think that I want to read on DNO about a robbery every few days? Get real. The average human uses 10% of their brain but it seems like you’re using 2.
What these guys are doing is wrong. If some-
one caught and hurt I won’t feel sorry for
them but they might end up to be the victim,
after robbing people form their hard earned
money.
headline;’four masked men gunned down by police” is that the headline we want? open ur eyes population…give proper discriptions of the culprits.and don’t hide them…they will end up in the wrong place and get riddled with bullets.
So all u think a foreigner would leave their country, where they maybe getting euro or u.s and come Dominica and rob e.c?
no way
u sound like u know something bout that i will not say much but why not 5+5 is 10 it don’t mater if is $or£ money is money
rememeber the heist of the huge supermarket in the middle of roseau…when the PPL passed through the roof ….foreigners were suspected..If my memory serves me right ..GUyannese or Trinis were suspected
ong y is tis breaking news. we can do without such publicity
All them people that saying about there have no work thats why people doing that :: THAN IS NO EXCUSE!! we all are in the same boat… and we not breaking no bank and robbing gas station… DOE COME WITH THAT…
Nough hatians in the place making good money and even sending back home to Haiti and them volue’ sitting down there talking about it doe have nothing to doe… Them man is LAZY WICKED MEN…
Shoot them on Sight !!!
we need to do random vehicle search in the country. search anybody anytime anyplace anyhour. we need people that have no connections to anyone in Dominica.we need to have a police state for a few months.search venezuelans, chinese, haitians,marijuana man cocain man.just search the whole country.we need more people selling out and helping the police. we need only christian policemen in dominica
It is a fact, that Dominicans are very ignorant about what really matters to their island. They fight against each other, most of all allowing evil to scale their land…what is really wrong with Dominicans, God has departed from you because your hands has been used by evil.
Boy,I’ll tell you something,this is becoming very frustrating and frankly,very disappointing…It’s like there is no end to this trend,and we have no answers to this escalating problem….Crime.
I do not know where we as a Nation are heading.But what i do know,is we need a complete metamorphosis.
I was reading through some of the comment here,and one caught my attention;that was by..”Dat u hear we…”. It was very interesting to me.
Which leads be to make the following analysis;…We need to focus on solutions to problems,instead of pointing fingers,or dwelling on the problems themselves. It is was it is….Man is a social being,and he is influenced by what is happening in his environment. Crime is a social phenomenon.
And in our efforts to combat it,we have to introduce more social programs.
One of the leading methods in Crime fighting,is Prevention…If we begin with “prevention”,we can concentrate on “motive”.
You have to deprive people of the motivation of criminality…
No one person or Political Party has a monopoly on wisdom.So,this leads me to..approach….Yes,the was we approach it.We have to be a little more inclusive…We tend to be too unilateral in our approach and outlook;especially when it comes to social issues,and how we understand them.
Look here,Dominica has very highly educated persons…People with PhD.,Masters, in education and Law and other majors. We have Statesmen…People with great accomplishments….Heck.we even have a person with “SIR” before his name; which means he has attained Knighthood.That is a great distinction and accomplishment…And as Dominicans,we should all, be proud of that…
I am proud to say I was born in Dominica,I walk with my head high,and with a smile;…even if there have not been too much to smile about lately,with respect to the escalating crime problem….
But irrespective of their Political affiliations, or views,they are all DOMINICANS,and therefore,we should be proud of them…I know I am….
Which leads me to say this;…We ought to include these People in policy making,we ought to seek their advice…We tend to get too political in our views,and in conducting the Peoples business…much too unilateral and partisan…
We need to focus on what is in the best interest of Dominica,and its People…And this is the approach and direction we ought to take….Instead of focusing on just Party lines and supporters…We need to be Leaders..of ALL the People…They are all Dominicans…Be a Leader of all the People.
I hear lots of talking,I hear lots of noises…I hear a mighty rumbling..But I see no one emerging…
We need to come together as one….I am appealing to the robbers,the thief,the criminals..Please!..put down your guns,your knives and other weapons of choice….Let us refrain from violence….Let us do some introspection and make an about-face. Turn your lives around,turn from your wicked ways….
Let us try to make Dominica like it was, and incorporate that, with how it ought to be, and together with hard work and dedication, we will make it a better and great Place for us and for our Children…Yes,there may be difficult times ahead; but TOGETHER we will overcome it.
WE NEED TO RESTORE OUR SPIRITS….All for Each and Each for All…
Please!..I am appealing to everyone. We all have to,and must, play our part….
WE need real Substance,Tangibles and Solutions…not rhetoric and propaganda…
May GOD bless us all..And most of all,may GOD bless and protect our Country.
Profound Peace…and..All the best to you..
INTELLECTUAL GANGSTA!!
OOPS…I noticed a little word..”was”…kicked my behind…but sorry about that..Two corrections..(1)should be..”It is what it is”..
(2)..Approach…the way we approach it..
So sorry about the Typos….
Thanks….
man nah go have gun inna dem hand and are nyam breeze, are squeez them are go squeez
My greatest fear is these arm robbers may soon begin to discharge their weapons. Inorder to protect the public, it is imperative that our local police mobilise the force and try to arrest/halt this developping culture. Four cases of armed robberies within the space of a fortnight!! There also seems to be an increase in just how brazen these crimes are becoming – They are now taking place in daylight!!! Where are our policemen?? Do they still aim to protect we the people, the citizens??
developement taking place increase in crime
This rubbery situation is getting out of hand..and our security forces need to take this situation very seriously…..we cant let our homeland become a heaven for disaster. Get these wayward people and make examples out of them. the earlier the better, so other will see what is in store for them for rubbing and destroying people safety and security.
What again are the guys on the 6th floor doing. Wasn’t that whole thing to fight crime?
My biggest problem is that there are people who KNOW who these people are. They are your children! They come home with more than they are supposed to have! They have the guns and you know where these guns are! Do something before they get killed! Before you have to refer to them as the ‘nicest’ child, the most loving boy…DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEM AND US!
bapio, thanks for this honest plea and comment, You have proven that we are not all idle bloogers. Parents, girlfriends and others have the info BUT wait until, and in the event they get gunned down when the police catch them with those guns, then and only then will these family members come on dno and other media and say all the nicest things and blame the police for defending themselves agaimst these terrorists. There is no way or police should allow anyone to shoot them first, once you are an armed robber and I am a police officer, I will NOT allow you to open fire on me cauase dead police cannot protect citizens. Its just a mater of time parents and siblings and you will have no choice but to come out.
Criminals of Dominica beware – I will be putting my engineering skills to some new use, to make some booby trap for your arses. And you will become a public spectacle because we the good people are sick and tired of your intimidation and disruption to our country. And we will show that good always overcome evil.
I did not grow up rich, but in no circumstances did I think of harming people and robbing them of their hard-earned income. I have been a victim of robbery, and I hate a robber as long as he continues to be a robber. Find some other means of making money in a legal way! Your persistent effort to disrupt our society has triggered me to do things I have never thought of before – I am very very serious! Watch your tracks – your guns and mask will be useless and you will be the one begging for mercy. This is a warning to you.
@Observer
Yeah Oberserver! Good will overcome evil. Those kind persons with the attitude and conduct of wickedness and evil in our Dominica has to know who is control.
Those carnal minded persons who allow Satan to push them into hurting innocent people must suffer the consequences of their wrong doings.
I call for courage and strength; I call for spiritual wisdom, understanding, and guidance, in the name of Jesus Christ, on your behalf, as you execute your plan against wickedness and evil in our Dominica.
May God’s Will be done through His chosen people. Observer, I pray that you are one of us. By the hook or by the crook we shall overcome.
Just do what you are compelled to do! The conducts of wickedness and evil has come too far into our Dominica; mischievously hurting our people and leaving a bad reputation for our country. This conduct must stop! And by the Will of God it will come to pass. Amen!
Okay, I meant to say: Those kinds of persons with the attitude and conducts of wickedness and evil.
NJIC Es zor la?
NJIC: “Wee nou la.. but specifically for listening to certain people who are bent on destroying the DLP and other VIP” any more questions?
for arguement sake let us assume NJIC is guilty of what some of you in the public is alleging, DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LISTEN TO EVERY CELLULAR CALL????? wHY DO WE TAKE SUCH SERIOUS MATTERS IN OUR COUNTRY AND BLAME IT ON PEOPLE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS TO PROTECT US, INCLUDING YOU.IS THAT HOW WE LOVE DOMINICA, DONT WORRY SOME DAY YOU WILL SAY THANKS TO NJIC AND THE SAME POLICE YO RIDICULE. stupes
YOU ALL THINK DA IS BAD WITH CRIMES. ROBBERS
ROBBED MY SISTER TWICE IN THREE MONTHS IN
ST.CROIX NOTHING WAS SOLVE MY NEPHEW LOST
ALL HIS STUFF. PLEASE DA IS NOT THE WORST.
IF THESE GUYS WANTED TO TO FETE THEY SHOULD
GET A LITTLE JOB AND SAVE MONEY. THEY ARE
TOO LAZY THEY RATHER ROB PEOPLE FOR THE HARD
EARNED MONEY.IF THEY ARE CAUGHT BURN THEIR
HANDS THEY’LL THINK TWICE OF ROBBING PEOPLE.
There is not really a low level of unemployment, there are people whithout the qualification for the jobs available and some of them are still fussy about choosing jobs, they dont realize that they have to start small to end up big and others are just plain lazy. they want to look good and smell good without bursting a sweat.
Of late i have grown to be very anti police, for the reason that the force is too politica..However these officers must be well prepared when they are in search of these rogues, because it’s my feeling that they will want to exchange fire with the cops.
SAD BUT TRUE, ANYONE WHO IS ANTI POLICE IS AGAISNT HIM OR HERSELF. ONCE YOU ANTI POLICE IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE ALLOWING YORSELF TO HATE THE INSTITTIOIN RESPONSIBLE FOR YOR SAFETY AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YO A SIMPLE ADVISE: READ UP ON THE ROLE OF THE POLICE AND THEIR DUTIES AND TRY TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THE POLICE FORSE SITS IN THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE AND YO WILL SEE THE FORDSE DIFFERENTLY. DO YO EXPECT THE POLICE FORCE TO BE PUBLICY OPPOSE TO THE GOVERNMENT IN OFFICE?? THEN EXPLAIN HOW THAT WOULD WORK OUT FOR CITIZENS WHO VOTED THAT GOVERNMENT IN POWER. stupes
Don’t worry, I will soon set up a gun shop business in D/A and everyone who could afford it will have to purchase firearms for personal protection. People, since the police don’t know WHO DID IT, don’t judge and say Dominicans are the perpetrators. There are lots of foreign citizens/residents here that could well be the bad guys. We ask for progress and it has arrived, so don’t complain now because bad things happen, it’s all part of the whole deal. That’s the pretext for taking away the little bit of freedom and justice left in the global community. NEW WORLD ORDER IS HERE. BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID! If you all think this is bad, you have seen nothing yet!!!!!!
1 its obviouse that these guys are brave
2 they are greedy therefore they are not satisfied and want more.
3 if you study this well they always hit the the spot that is close to multiple routs of escape,surely there must be and escape car close waiting.
4 to catch a thief you have think like one.
DPF there is a patern here 1+1=2, 2+2=4,should i say 4+4? please catch these guys on the first 4 cause they are moving up a ladder.
well anywhere there is a high level of unemployment, there must be an increase in crime.
THERE IS A HIGH RATE OF EMPLOYMENT ALL OVER
THESE GUY WANT TO ROB, JOB OR NO JOB THEY
ROB PEOPLE ANYWAY. PLEASE DON’T USE THIS FOR AN EXCUSE.
You can stop them raging wicked hearted young guys who just refuse to work for their money and take from you??? This people have no heart , no respect and think what you have is theirs. You think persons haven’t try to help people like that and all they do is turn around and rob you. I tell you, they need to have a serous boot-camp in Dominca… not know play games stuff.. military type to straighten them people and change their ways. The country is booming with employment and opportunity, this people are just rebellious. They won’t stay and work in a job because they have no respect for their employers. It is NOT easy to deal with them kind of people.
As one gone a next one born, this will proliferate as long as we continue in denial…
If we intend to hang them all we better start digging mass graves, from looking at my peers it seems like being a criminal is now one of the most popular jobs out there. Sociologist Emile durkheim claimed that crime was inevitable, and that it is a functional part of any society….in that it functions as a socio economic marker or indicator indicating that SOMETHING IS WRONG with the socio economic structure of a society. ARE WE SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING BROKEN IN OUR SOCIETY??? THEN WHY ARE OUR MEN TAKING SUCH DESPERATE MEASURES???? HAS THE PRICE OF FOOD GONE UP???
unemployment aint all around dem time dere festival carnival u find it go up.
plus them business owners making enough cash to upgrade their security not skerrit or hector to do that for them.
that is no excuse
There is a word call self-employ, I know of people who were self-employed which enabled them to stand on their own two feet, send their kids to school, food on their table etc, some worked the soil, so to those blaming it on unemployment this is ridiculous, what about the land, I visited Dominica some time ago and what i saw was heart breaking, too many dope fins all over the island, some of them give up planted veggies etc, what them thieves need to know , 99 days for them and one day for the people that they are robbing, go open a rat farm, to sell for Ross to do research, they are just point blank lazy bastards looking for quick cash
Ghost, you muist be the robber man. Your comment sounds like an excuse a robber would give. jus sayin….
at times like these a ghadaffi can be useful…. smh…
well Gadafi was actually trying to make oil interchangeable for Gold (Gold Dinar) which would have boomed the African economy and prevented Amerikkka and Europe from purchasing oil as cheap as they do now, anyone see reason for him to be murdered? I sure do! He was about to bury the Amerikkkan/Euro dollar, so they killed him.
CHECK OUT THIS LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuqZfaj34nc
i saw that vid already on another site…. i didn’t share it cause now it makes no sense… why is it after all is done… this is when the media comes out and says… oh this may be the reason etc…i’m tired of that.. this is speculation that this could be the reason… but let’s be honest… ghadaffi gave locals the reason to attack him since he did them lots of injustices…. the locals didn’t kill him cause of euro dollar extinction… maybe nato fueled the drive…. but all the locals wanted was freedom…
Okay okay okay
Yes its the same people
Yes their day will come
Yes its wrong to steal
Yes “if possible” they should find hard work
Yes we can give them prayers
Yes we can hang them
Yes we can shoot them on site
But also:
Yes they have a familY
Yes they are dominican
Yes they like all men are driven by desires
Yes anyone of our children could choose this life
Yes if we all fail to see that people don’t just wake up one day and decide they going to rob.
Yes if we continue to deny that there is a depressing lack of opportuinty for young people
Yes because young people are higly motivated and very impressionable
Yes because there is no genuine reform for criminals.
Yes it will continue as long as we continue to ignore that we have created a society which is a breeding ground for criminals.
Yes we might catch those, but there might be dozens more being cultivated.
Yes we have to start asking ourselves the hard and relevant questions if we are to stand a chance.
agree 100%.
first comment i read on DNO EVER that ever made any sense!!!
Mr Carrette can you please say something sir. Even if is just TWO WORDS.. This madness is going out of hand.Soon these criminals will start visiting the homes of innocent people with the intention to kill.
The last gas station robbery in Possie was also in the third week of October.
World Creole festival. Are them tickets too expensive? … these poor guys are just trying to get the fee together LOL.
In seriousness … this is a shitty thing. Possie don’t need it. I hope they get them soon.
It’s a small island … where can they go?
this thing is going on too far now i beleive what all business places in Dominica must do is have proper security electronics ones then and civilians camera. and every electronic security should be connected to the police service so as soon as it happens the police on them.
Asking to be connected to the police station may be too huge a step. They should certainly instal security cameras and put security guards in place. The public will feel safer and in the long run it will work out cheaper.
With all these foreigners who are buying DA passports any thing can happen. We have Chinese droves of unknown origins roaming the place.
This is not a Dominican trend that’s happening.
You cannot make a statement like that! Think of your ethnicity and imagine yourself in the minority, then this statement was made about you, how would you feel?
It’s not sound to make blanket statements.
Way to go – blame it on the foreigners.
Wake up and smell the sh-t you’re shovelling and admit that there are Dominicans born and bred who are capable of this type of crime.
Its so easy to blame others when things go wrong. When someone decides to leave their country and settle in another, its because they want a better life style, not because they want to commit crime.
Especially during this festive season, and to bring this crime spree to an abrupt end, i believe that special powers such as stop and search should be given to the police in an effort to apprehend and suppress the criminal activities of anti-social elements on island. vigilance must be stepped up and the courts must spare no effort nor show any leniency in sentencing these criminals when brought before the bench and found guilty of active participation in any form of criminal activity.
Let’s hope that the culprits are caught before christmas or worst, before law abiding citizens resort to vigilante styled justice.
These are the people the PM and Mr Austrie be concerned about instead of making stupid statements like the one Austrie made last week about cabinet members need securuity because of the opposition.
These guys have gotton so out of control that I would not be surprise to hear one day that they break into a police station and went with how many guns. Serious business folks!
huh business places need to up dere dam security. they making so much dam money all u still want skerrit to come secure for them. stupes all these places can improve their own dam security
dat is so true robbin the riches
Honestly, the people that are doing those things, have one problem or two… If the problem is lazy, mannn, I would take hot salt water and dash those boys….
I hope the police is geared up for an exchange of fire if these guys are caught in the act.
WOW! It would be nice if the customs would tighten up on all those entering Dominica especially during such times as Independence. There are so many dangerous folks who present themselves as good folks. Why whenever there is some big festival in the region one would witness and increase in Crime. national security must be the key.. Imagine bandits have just decided to be rubbing down gas stations. Mark you- these bandits plan their attacks and monitor the areas for a long long time…. These bandits need to feel the brunt of the law … when they are caught – please send a strong message to these bandits that their actions are unacceptable.
you see them man go to them french territories,and bring back their bad habits,like bwaka and drug runs,and spoiling dominica,law enforcement was suppose to look into that pattern of life a long time ago,because it been going on for a while,but all those who been benefiting from that form piracy,been turning a blind eyes,but right, now it has come to roost,if you plant thorns do not expect corn.
SOMETIME I REALLY WONDER IF DOMINICAN BELIEVE THAT DOMINICA IS THE MOST SAFEST ISLAND IN THE CARIBBEAN,THERE ARE SOME CARIBBEAN ISLANDS ARE WORST THEN US CRIME IS EVERYWHERE, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPEN IN DOMINICA,DOMINICAN ALWAYS HAVE SOME NEGATIVE THING TO SAY ABOUT DOMINICA,ESPECIALLY DOMINICAN LEAVING OVERSEAS, AND WHAT HURT ME THE MOST WHERE THEY ARE IS WORST THEN DOMINICA, THEY ARE LEAVING IN JAIL IN ORDER COUNTRY BUT YET THEY COMING ON THIS SITE AND TALK NEGATIVE ABOUT DOMINICA, AND FOR THE RECORD I AM A PILOT I SEE WHERE THEY ARE LEAVING I ALL I CAN SAY O LORD BEST THEY GO BACK HOME, THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE DOMINICA AND I WILL NEVER BRING DOWN MY COUNTRY FOR NO ONE,I AM A DOMINICA TO THE BONE.
so true!
Very reasonable and positive comment, but very difficult to read.
Fouteé them volers prays good prays i mean layven and they will see if it is sweet to voler ppl things and sewoter ppl money.
unsolved mystery again
Trouble the police u all armed robbers. After when they hold allu n give allu something i hope the public doh say the police wicked.Then when they send all u stockie ask for extra bread n say allu doesnt eat pigsnout.
100 % truth. Remember in all the cases they were armed. You know the police aren’t going to seek these people out with batons and mace. I think they realize it’s bullets that’s heading their way. They may be smiling right now while I’m here writing this, but when they’re smiling no more I’ll take a breath of relief.
i think that too much is happenin in this country.why cant this people get a dam job insted of spoiling their reputation. shop owners and business person get tight security. and ihope the government take action towards these crimes
ALA ALA BOY D.A PEOPLE MUST STOP DEM CRIMES. DAT IS THE FOURTH ROBBERY IN ONE (1) AND A HALF WEEKS.THE POLICE HAVE TO CATCH A THIEF IN THE ACT.
I HOPE WHEN DEM MAN COME IN MY SHOP AND I PULL OUT MY PUMP RIFLE AND HIT THEM ONE IN THE CHEST I HOPE DE POLICE DON’T HARRASE ME LIKE IS ME THAT IS DE CRIMINAL.
I know it sounds violent, but that’s what it’s going to come to eventually. Increased cameras and security guards with sticks aren’t going to stop this. Eventually, businessmen are going to defend what they have worked so hard for they best way they can.
I’m appealing to the justice league in Dominica to please find a way to eliminate this problem quickly before it really gets out of hand.
Don’t worry.They are the ones we meet on the street corner begging for dollar and bread.Somebody must pay for it.It will not go so.If police cannot help,,,,somebody else will help at a quicker pace.
I don’t think they are the ones on the street corners beggin na.
These criminals are masterminds, i don’t think they just decide to rob the places without proper organization and studying of their targets.
These are organized crimes, look at the pattern.
if ……………they well plan dere vybes n ting serious mastermind ………they a takers
Thats what we call a good complot monté but they will cry for mercy after.
Maybe when money will share a fight might burst then we will know those voler, stolen money will tourment them they better be careful cuz they WILL FALL.
and the police force comments………..we are investigating the matter……I’ve said it all…..
we do not have a police force. We have a Skerrit force.
dominicans its globalwarming dont be frighten hypocrits
the married person u messing with not more hypocrite. you idiot. is probably well u thAT ROB THE GAS STATION. YOU FILTHY ANIMAL. WHO THE HELL U CALLING HYPOCRITE DAMM COWARD. THATS WHY U NAMED ANNYMOUS.
dhominicans its globalwarming dont be frighten hypocrits
well i think calibishie and marigot must be on the look out… anywhere with an isolated gas station… on the look out… well why do i say marigot??? well where else besides roseau and possie u’ll find a lil bzness… royal bazaar etc…. and calibishie is a hot bed for crime… shop keepers and tourists alike… oh and cali has a guest resort…. they’ll not come back roseau… don’t bet on it… neither will they venture to possie again… hot spots like mahaut… massacre… esp the restaurant that greeting u soon as u enter massacre….. um admin u can post it… i’m just giving my two cents…
y are we Dominican have to take everything and make it political how all u so sure that the person is not someone who is working? did the PM or hector put the gun in that person hand and so go rob the gas station? pls my people stop it. may God continue to bless D/A and protect his children. thank God no one was hurt
Because if you have just half a brain you should have known that everything happening on island, not only Dominica is intrinsically linked to politics.LEARN THAT NOW.
Remember people. GON Emmanuel’s house was firebombed in an attempt on his life.The authorities swept this under the carpet..So what do you all expect? The criminals who were in hiding are everywhere now..They know the country is a lawless one.They are out now wrecking havoc. I blame the country’s leader,and all the failed institutions including the police for this scary and frightening Dominica we are nurturing for our children.
Oh shut up.
Hi, Four Robberies are to many but this is not an epidemic so let us stop making it look like our country is falling apart which it is not. As someone who has an extensive law enforcement background I must ask myself what suggestions can I provide to the police to help them solve those robberies. First, they should form a “BRAM” Unit which stand for Burglary & Robbery Apprehension Madual which will investigate any Burglary or Robbery. This unit shoud be staff by twenty investigators and four supervisors. Each team should have five investigators and one supervisor with all in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles. In that way this unit will be able to scrutinize the roports for similarities like, Time of Day, Description of perpetrators(Height, Weight, Hair,complexion),Mo (Words Said)In that way they stand a better chance of predicting where the robbers might try to rob. Second, they should find out if there were any prisoner recently released who has a robbery background and interview all recently released robbers. Third, They should debrief all paroles or people on probation and all recently arrested individuals in an attempt to gather intelligence which would assist them in solving those robberies. They should aslo scrutinized the cellphone towers to determine which phones were log on for the shortest time period. In that way they can pay specific attention to the individuals who own the cellphones. Also we must remember that a number of festivals and our independence is around the corner, Then we have Christmas holidays therefore, I can only assume that the Police Commissioner should know that he must put more plain clothes units in unmarked vehicles on patrol because of the coming events. I do not know if the police have a description of the perpetrator in the three previous robberies but if they have then they should make posters and offer a reward for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the perps. The businesses that was robbed are major businesses therefore, I wonder if they had interior or exterior surveillence cameras. If not the government should give them a three thousand dollars tax deduction to install cameras but to qualify for such tax deduction they must provide a copy of any surveillence tape the police needs without a court order or a Search Warrant.
Firstly, the police are doing a great job with collecting information. Robbery is something Dominicans don’t stand for and they have been very forthcoming with information.
Secondly, to make another task force in the police department is not necessary; you stated in your first line that things are not whaling out of control and it’s not an epidemic so let’s not get out of hand.
Thirdly, most of what you’ve suggested is normal procedure, however, I will commend you on the idea of the tax cut for installing cameras and making it available for further use.
Finally, yours was one of the best comments here so far. It was well thought of and well written. May I say thanks for that. Some of the people who comment here don’t seem to have made it through primary school. It’s scary and sometimes embarrassing to read their comments even if they make really important and valid points.
Hi, I agree with you that the Police is doing a good job. After posting my comment I reliazed that I should have said that. If the Police Department do not have such a unit then they should established such unit which is not the same as a task force. Also as I said my post containd suggestions but if someone within the Police Department can take one thing from my post which would help that investigator solve any crime then I am satisfied. (Thanks Love from NY).
It is not an epidemic for you, but it is for people who love Dominica.
Hi, I love Dominica and I will always love Dominica just like you do. We must be realistic , based on Dominica population which is between Seventy Thousand to Eighty Thousand people four Robberies are to many but it is not an epidemic. I am also sadden by such incidents so let hope that the Police will find the perptrators and bring them to court to answer for their crimes.
I hop we get the man soom
I hope when the police catch up with them B%$#&%^ds, some lunatic lawyer don’t come and ask for mercy or try to free them up. As much as the law says “INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY” this is certainly too much now. I just wish that these guys would get some street justice before the police get them.
THEY SHOULD BUILD A MAXIMUM TORTURE CHAMBER FOR THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE THE GO AROUND ROBBING, RAPING, KILLING, STEALING, ETC
I said so yesterday, I did. No one listened or took heed. I guess the police don’t read the comments on DNO. The businesses in other areas need to be very alert. The government or the police need to be on the radio and TV giving persons the opportunity to be on the look out. I SAID SO, I BLOODY WELL SAID SO.
HANG THEM
HABG THEM
HANG THEM
HANG THEM
HANG ALLLLLL OF THEM
DONT PUT THEM IN JAIL AND OUR TAX MONEY HAVE TO FEED THEM TO GET FAT.
HANG THEM
THEY NEED TO BRING BACK HANGING FOR THESE IDIOTS TO BEHAVE THEMSLEVES.
when somebody kill one of dem i hope thier family dont come on here saying they should not have done that keep playing with fire.
don”t worry there is always an end to situations like these and it is coming soon. Right now the theives should be very afraid cause people are looking out for you guys and don t think its the security guard, someone behind that door is waiting for you be very afraid.
First off, I hope the petrol station attendents are OK.
No. 4 in less than 2 weeks. No eye witnesses, no leads, no ones talking. I just cant believe that in a place like Dominica where people tend to mind other peoples business, no one knows/or sees Jack sh-t.
I’m not one to jump to conclusions, nor am I Miss Marple, but its pretty obvious that they are linked.
Where are the police foot patrols (I dont expect them to be on every street corner), but some visible presence is needed. We have become to complacent, to smug, believing that this sort of thing does not happen in Dominica, and when it does happen some automatically say its all down to the lawless leaders setting a bad example, or its down to unemployement.
The level headed will kow that crime will happen no matter who leads or how many people are employed, and that we should not use excuses to justify wrong doings.
Time for the PM to address the nation, time for him to let these low life scums of the earth know that, enough is enough and that they will be hunted down and punished.
afraid the chickens have finaly arrived home..haha….
wonder why do they pretend and be in denial of that facts……facts are indeed good pills to make you stay awake and feel better and make the better change by removal of waste material..
A lawless country.
fest coming up eh………..ppl need money….smh
But why they give you so many ‘thumbs down’when what you say is the truth. They don’t see it in the context you put it. Thumbs up!!
Explaining the secular trend in criminal participation rates in most developing economies is a difficult task. Many social scientists argue that crime is closely related to work, education, poverty and that truancy, youth unemployment, and crimes are by-products or even measures of social exclusion
Wake up Dominica, your citizen are crying out for help. They are crying out for opportunities, a decent life, a good education, good healthcare, justice, food on their tables, clothes on their backs, and just providing their children’s basic necessities.
That is just a taste of the societal decay that will encompass Dominica if something is not done!!!!!!!
Who would give that comment a thumbs down??? Seems the people giving thumbs down are just idiots.. We dont know but you know who you are
He got thumbs down cuz it seems like he’s makin excuses for the thieves, some of whom are just greedy-azz sons of b-words who are healthy enough to go do some construction or plant in a garden or something if they can’t find other work, but instead choose to rob people of their hard-earned possessions so that they can ‘bling’
Get it now?
u have to understand… it will get thumbs down cause foolish and ignorant people believes that u are tactfully casting blame or bashing the present leadership of the country…
i will agree with you there, they are worried that a correlation will show that crime rises when the government is seen as corrupt and innept and nepotism rules. the police as partisan and therefore has little clot with the common man. lets see what happens soon
so honesty and hard work not a part of life anymore. commit crime because i want the great life and not work for it…and thats a cry for help! i can see why you’re a genius!
If its not a cry for help well just say go do hard work and the problem will be solved. Get all you heads out all you a**es and try understand something other than nursery rhymes. Or if you all have red eyes go get drops to cure it….
Do some research on crimes and their causes, especially in underprivileged society.
High crime countries.. Causes
1. Jamaica.. poverty/lack of opportunities etc
2. Sudan.. poverty/corruption etc
3. Somalia.. poverty/ corruption etc
4. Haiti… poverty/ lack of opportunity/ corruption etc
5. South Africa.. Poverty/ social imbalance/ corruption. Etc etc etc..
THIS HAS TO BE THE SAME PEOPLE DOING THIS!
The fact that the police have been able to do absolutely NOTHING, REALLY SAYS SOMETHING TOO! Now I have to wonder if someone within the police department might actually know who’s doing it, and is simply covering for them.
Four in one week! Yeah, that will really want to make people come and visit Dominica for sure!
The PM once Said “this country is too free” and this is be begging show. We need to put some serious measures in place to curve this promblem.
ahem… i think the p.m was referring to freedom of speech… hence to free to voice opinions openly…. i don’t think it had anything to do with crime…
A country in crisis……
WOW FOUR IN ONE WEEK ITS GETTING DANGEROUS
WITH THESE ROBBERIES. THESE GUYS WANT EASY
MONEY THEY DID NOT WORK FOR.
One question. If on the next robbery the owner lethally shoots a couple of them. Will he/she be arrested? If so then that may be our problem right there. (Of course with a licensed firearm)
One has to defend his property and himself. The robber comes to rob and kill, he will try to silence you in what ever way he can, even is to kill, so you the proprietor, taking the first chance on him and he dies, ofcourse there will be an investigation.Then the court will set you free.
seem like a change of scenery OR monkey see monkey do OR if they do and get away I can do and get away too OR accding to PRO is a ‘trend’ for some desperate persons..OFFICERS ALLU SLEEPING SEEMS DEM PEOPLE TAKIN ALLU 4 A JOKE…SOME SERIOUS ACTION NEED TO HAPPEN AND STEP UP..
Just friday, Mr Mc Millan said he would rather the gas stations close earlier, instead of the security officers be armed with guns. It was not even 5:00 pm yet when these bastards made their way with a roberry. So what next?
It is a lawless country, and it stems from the top, and what we are now experiencing is the filtering effect. Have we heard the Commissioner on this malaise that is blighting the country? What is the maximum leaders view on these robberies..Where there is no vision,the people shall perish.It’s biblical! I see it getting worse,before it gets better.We need political leaders, religious leaders,Police leaders,business leaders,sports leaders,school leaders,community leaders,and every other leader on Waitikubuli,to voice their opinion on the rapid decline of this speck of dust called Waitikubuli that is taking place in our own eyes.Unless it happens we are doomed to called a failed state.
% can you convince me that if UWP wins the next election that all robberies and crime will cease in Dominica?
It appears as if crime is committed because DLP is the government, i’m sure that is not the case, but if you and the UWP can convince Dominicans that under your government crime will cease in Dominica the whole Caribbean will vote for you all and will by extension invite the UWP to be the world government.
Good luck with your ignorance. It’s no wonder that your leadership in the UWP has made a massive investment by purchasing the Steve Wonder, Starret Francois and Ray Charles glasses for people like you.
Guess you may have grabbed quite a few pairs.
Why ask ;questions to the person about UWP? How do you know thah the person is a UWP supporter, and not a former Labour Party supporter. Your idiot!
%% DOMINICA IS STILL SAFE THEN WHERE U ARE FOR SURE, SO YOU SHOULD READ YOUR OWN COMMENT,YOU ALL PEOPLE MAYBE DON’T HAVE TV, RADIO, MAYBE THAT THEE ONLY SITE U ALL NO, LOOK AT STKITTS AND NEVIS,THEY HAVE #32 MURDER FOR THEY YEARS, ST MARTEN # 15 MURDER , ST LUCIA # 40 MURDER AND CAN GO ON AND ON, BEFORE YOU ALL POST ON THIS SITE THINKS WHAT YOU ALL POSTING DOMINICA IS STILL ONE OF THEE SAFEST PLACE TO LEAVE SO OVERSEAS DOMINICAN STOP BRING DOWN YOUR COUNTRY WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT BETTER THEM DOMINICA, DOMINICAN IN DOMINICA DONT HAVE TIME TO BRING DOWN DOMINICA WE HERE WE NO WHAT HAPPENING.
@ Need To Know: You need to know moron,one more robbery is too many for a small island like Dominica,and you must stop your rubbish by saying that Dominica is safe. The fact is it isn’t. Open your red eyes and the message will start sinking home.Where will they go next? It may well be your home.So stop being a fool.
need to know, you have are point i believe u are the moron we can’t stop crime, crime could happen anywhere anytime it could be you it be me, so read what need to know say Dam stupid a%#s read before you post!
Country hard, ppl sick and tired. I not condoning these acts buts incentives and opportunities have to be put in place to curb the young ppl mind set. Money should be invested in positive vibes that in the future can help the young ppl reap profits from it. Speculating and cracking down harder on these criminals is not going to solve the problem. It needs to be irradicated from the source.
Carrette what is going on. Who is next? Will you accept a confession to solve these burglaries. Foolish pride and shame is killing the police department.
KEEP ON PRAYING DOMINICANS, I REALLY WOULDNT LIKE TO SEE DOMINICA GET MY LIKE ISLAND SXM. I LOVE DOMINICA TOO MUCH AND FEEL SAFER THERE THAN HERE IN MY OWN ISLAND SXM. ITS SAD
you is a fool how sxm get in this
who fool more than you? it is fact the way sxm has become.anyway you’re from axa so hush
I HOPE WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT PETER WILL PAY FOR PAUL. THIS IS SICKENING
I wanna know how much money they want for fest? Why not work like the average law abiding citizen?
Some ppl are desperate!
This is highly ridiculous. It is obvious that we have a very serious crime problem in Dominica. At this point, I call for an extreme, drastic approach particularly for property crimes and hard drugs (cocaine, heroine, etc),and also rape.
These draconian measures, hopefully temporary, along with the implementation of a vigorous curriculum on social and moral values geared toward our pre-adolescents should shake up the Dominican society in the next decade or two.
wow really number four. things are becoming dangerous in Dominica.
only the fear of God people….man law is a joke if you can break it and beat it…and there will always be those who are looking to do just that…..we need the love and fear of God in our hearts…………..
lets be real how much of us do something illegal for a million bucks knowing that we will never ever get caught… there is no chance of it ever coming out in the open…….an act such as failing to appear as a witness in order that someone evades a conviction( and being paid a significant amount of money for it)…..there are many upstanding people/jurors who have been bought by drug dealers
you weight the pros and cons…you start to think who am hurting here…and I’m sure anyone can justify their decision
well a crime is a crime….though some are more cruel than others as in the case of rape and murder……
so in our hearts most of us are not much better than these thieves…..we need the fear and the love of God in our hearts…
ok …how much of us WILL do….
@Tiny
I gave you a thumbs up. but your correction is still wrong. For people we need to say “how many” So you need to say “how many” of us will do.
“How many” people are in your church and “how much” money do they collect from offering. Okay!
Anyway keep up the good work!
hey people i am in not way saying that there should be no laws and rules ok…cause we are dealing with sinful man….and i would hate to live in a place with no laws…cause knowing the heart of man………..
now i want to know…. if there were no witnesses to see what vehicle they used.. although the plan could be… getting off in a secluded spot and going off in another vehicle…. when u watch certain movies u’ll get tips…. no choppers in d.a to survey the land from above to spot any fast moving vehicle etc etc…
ohhh these guys playing with people’s life and their’s too!! Lord protect the lives of the citizen. Lord i believe you to be able to bring a halt to these robbery crime spree!! Lord but most importantly let your will be done!!!
And if the majority of us would come together in one mind, one heart, and one accord through sincere faith and trust in God’s authority in our lives; and to call upon Him, in such manner; He will indeed, hear our call to execute His wrath, against the enemy; so that disobedient, wicked, and evil “human beings” will discover that God Almighty is the Living God through His Person, Jesus Christ.
Yeah, God Almighty of Love–in Spirit, Truth, and Holiness–is the God who is slow to anger, but when He does become angry, He always swings that bat of His wrath without striking out!
Many people, like those in our Dominica who are going around doing wickedness and evil, as if they are untouchable, will have much more than regrets, that they allowed God to choose them as the baseballs that He needed to swing at.
Yeah! God is always His own pitcher and hitter–that is why He does not strike out. Oh you foolish man! Why do you continue to provoke the wrath of the Lord God?
Yeah, Dear God, along with my fellow God fearing Dominicans I call to You, that you: Let Your Will be done in our Dominica.
Your Will O God, to cleanse, conscecrate, and sanctify the minds of our people, that they might begin to respond to conscience, where You connect Your Love to us, and continue to build us in Love, which is Spirit and Truth.
May those who try to rebel against this revolution of their minds, Your desire to invade their lives, that they might live and not die; let them experience their own demise, because of Your wrath. Let it be done dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Again
if im not mistaken this is the fourth. mac millan gas station was robbed last night i think or night before
Yes sar! smh…what on earth is happening in this place?
