The police are investigating an allegation of robbery which occurred about 4:15 pm on Sunday, 1, May 2016 at Springfield.
Police Public Relations Officer, Acting Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste said Herman Rolle of the community reported that one individual wearing a mask and armed with a knife and a piece of steel robbed him of EC$200 and one Samsung cellular telephone value EC$3,000.
He said the scene was processed by the Crime Scene Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
Investigations are ongoing.
Anyone with information which can assist the police in their investigations can contact the CID at telephone numbers 266-5164, 266-5165 and 266-5119 or Crime Stoppers Dominica at telephone number 1-800-8477.
It was probably someone that knew him and knew what he had. This is typically the way anyone gets robbed in DA. That is why no one wants anyone to know what t they have. Sad place. The likelihood of recovery with the present police system is very slim.
Only today during a conversation with someone I voiced my concern about those brazen criminals and that in this so-called modern society with all these electronic gadgets, crimes have increased. This is right here in Toronto; Canada no doubt.
They commit crimes, if arrested and charged, they are granted bail and are out on the streets to continue plying their criminal activities. I would keep them incarcerated for as long as possible and until the case is called. In this way, a spoke will be placed in their wheel, removing them from society for years.
God is taking note of your criminal activities. Every theft, every harm are recorded in the Book of Damnation. Fear for your future, eternity. Let them know that.
What about that $3000 phone that a $100 phone can’t do all that money for a phone
ignorant jenny, is it a crime to own a 3000 phone ? stay focus.
the 3000 does way much more than a 100 phone….trust me!
I find Mr. Jno- Baptiste reports are missing basic elements of a good reporter. Why did they remove coporal Weekes?
Corporal???
Hahaha! You don’t live here, do you??
Weekes is not an inspector any more
open season, lots of victims. Dominicans, its our country, make that call! see something, say something, the crime we help to solve maybe our Neighbor`s Call. Mention must be made RE: the price of that phone. $EC, 3.000.00. not so smart.
Cameras, cameras, cameras and more cameras, its not invasion of privacy its public safety. If Dominica is serious about Eco tourism & protecting visitors and citizens they need to take steps to provide security all over the island not just on Roseau streets. no stone left un-turned!
