As investigations continue in the robbery at the Woodford Hill credit union which occurred on Thursday morning, the police have confirmed that they have recovered $35,000 of about $45,000 which was stolen from the vault. The lawmen also confirmed that one shot gun was used in the commissioning of the crime and a vehicle registration number PH372, which is now in police custody.
They reported earlier that a young man is nursing gunshot wounds at the Princess Margaret Hospital and two others are on run, as investigations into a robbery continued.
Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector John Carbon, reported that at around 8:20 am, three men robbed that credit union, armed with knives and guns.
He also confirmed that a large sum of money was stolen in the process but none of the staff members of that financial institution were physically hurt.
“Shortly after the incident, police intercepted a vehicle and during the interception one individual was shot by the police while the other two escaped. A large sum of cash was recovered in the vehicle,” Carbon reported.
He said the young man who was shot by the police is currently in stable condition at the Princess Margaret Hospital.
isn’t one of the guys someone who carried out an armed robbery on NDFD and was granted bail?
DNO I suspect you ganging up negatively on me by using your like or dislike column.Are you allowed to do so?
Admin: Admin actually has no control over the like and dislike feature. Dominican News Online readers are the only ones who can “like” or “dislike” a comment.
Lennox and his Gang of UWpites and supporters say their is no work in the country and the country poor.One is left to wonder why the Haitians and others that come to the country can find work.Most of those persons are either self employed or gainfully employed some other way.Country poor but Lennox and his gang finds enough money from the very poor people living in the poor country to tour the US,UK,PARIS AND CANADDA.Remember all these countries carry a currency much higher than that of Dominca,To obtain 1 US$ YOU pay 3 EC$ etc.UWP is a wicked,jealous,greedy,lazy set of people.When they speak,they speak in rage and desperation.One can feel the malice and hatred in their voice and the wickedness on their face. They blame the Government for everything that goes wrong but you never hear them praise the Government when something is done right.All their talk is in the negative and never there to give a helping hand; yet they want to see positive things happen.The monies these Desparados are taking touring those countries would be of better use to the youths of the country.The same diaspora people they refer to as (DIE-ASS-POORER)are the very same ones they are going to asking for Donation and come down to vote for them.Dominicans are not Dom in a can as they as they think.Come election day the results will prove who is knotty or who is wise.
ths state monies ministers have building houses for their little side girl friends why don’t they use that money to invest in the youths of the country..you acting like you not aware of such things happening. remember is the labour party that claim to be the party of the youths but their action speaks otherwise..
My opinion is this – To save the poor tax payers money; (by that i mean, from what is remaining after the politicians take their portion) we should not waste more on these thugs. Their right hand should be cut-off (if they are right handed, or cut-off the left if they are left handed). No prison time should be given to them. By so doing, we would have spent less money on these parasite suckers.
god put a hand on Dominica cause it balancing
@ Fast and furious, what’s your point or what are you trying to say?
@ anonymous…my questions have to do with knowing wether or not the police were efficient…..wether they could havedone better..
I am against what happened in woodford hill but this is the result of high unemployment.The youths all over Dominica are getting frustrated and cold hence crime is rising.
That is your opinion and not necessarily a fact. There have always been unemployment and there will always be unemployment in every country of the world.
Certainly, not every unemployed person commits crime. That is terrible to paint every unemployed person with one brush.
Do we know for sure that all those involved in the crime is unemployed and their unemployment is what lead them to commit the crime?
who ever you are, you couldn’t have said it any better. that is good teaching for the ones that don’t think before the speak.
All your help should come from the Lord!
John bess What about the young man whose parents are in the States providing everything for him? Is he in need because of unemployment? Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!
“Everyone is talking about crime,crime,crime but we all know that blue are the criminals”.
what? ..so stupid
You need to think before you make comments like that. I was unemployed for years and never stole anything from anybody. I lived close to a lady who planted lettuce in her backyard and she had customers coming to her house to buy. Why can’t they do the same. Just go by the market and pick up some old tomato to get the seeds. But that will not bring 45 thousand dollars. Some of them family have more than a back yard.
Job well done by the po-po.hope they find the others.and also make them spend some serious time in prison i mean c’mon hard working ppl money you criminals are stealing,smh
fellas just lazy and doe wanna work, then the fools blame gov or others. the ones who commit the act are responsible and they alone. if the government is to be blamed then all unemployed young pple would be in crime nut NO some choose to struggle in the right way. DOMINICANS WAKE UP LETS BE REAL!!!!!!!!
“like the pal. rep for this area made a statement that wesly does not have crime, this was a few days after a young man was shot”
Well, Power boy, or Wesley Power House, remind Gloria Dodds (Dods) Shillingford the parliamentary representative that the son of Marie Leslie, my sister who was found with his throat slashed murdered is her cousin; since the murdered man called her late father Jonathan Dods uncle also, just as my sister, and I called him uncle.
Remind her Vaughn Dods who was shot in the village is also the son of Becket who also called her father uncle, meaning Vaughn Dods (Dodds) is her cousin, and so too she called Becket’s father the late Andrew Dods uncle.
As well as me mother late mother Yvonne Dods is (was) she aunt also.
Remind her about Claudette and all the others found dead in the village, if she lost some memory, remind her of how many people Kenneth Telemaque found dead at intervals next to his house at Eden Road, I don’t thing Kenneth lives there anymore, but the last time I walked by there his children occupied the house.
Remind her about Enoch Christmas, and others; gunned down in our village that’s as far as murder goes: but unless she has developed amnesia since she became a politician, remind her of all the thievery we experienced in the village daily, ask her if she recorded how many times my late father’s house was broken into, and his money stole.
Ask her if she remembers Ali, which after a robbery she had a heart attack and died. I have not lived in Wesley for quite some time now, but if I am informed; her absents in the village when she lived at Goodwill should not prevent her form knowing about the high volume of crimes occurring in our village.
Remind her of the people who borrowed money from the Credit Union and have not repaid the loan, that is know as stealing, and indeed a crime.
Remind her that even my nephew the one you guys called Hansey (Bobboy), he is the only man in the village with a withered arm his name is McDonald Destouche, he is also Gloria’s cousin Marie is his mother. He lost more than a hundred thousand dollars in the credit union, (somebody thief it okay) , remind her that is a crime also!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque(Son).
BUT YET YOU STILL VOTE THEM IN JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE LABOUR. take what you get in your rasssss…
Mr Telemaque, please keep your dirty laundry private. Stop calling people names on line without cause.
Your late Grand mother Ma John from Hunt, Wesley the one who raised you as a child died for more than 6 months without your knowledge. Shame on you… talk about those things. Let’s keep the youth of our country in prayer. Robbery & crime
are every where, no one is immune. Today is mine, tomorrow is not promised.
The news about my grand mother; remember you got that from me eh!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
I wrote that on DNO, I believe I wrote that on Cakafete also, and I had it on my Site Yvonnedods.com so everybody knows that and got it from. If you are going to throw that in my face, you need to also state, that I said long before my grandmother died, she called me home.
At the time she was ninety-five years old; she talk to me taking me back to the day I was born, we spoke about everything, politics and all.
The last words she spoke to me was “you been a very good child to me, very respectful, and did all you can to help me, as of this day; if we never speak to each other, nor see each other again, don’t worry about it, God bless you.” The next day I left, she lived another eight years and die at age 103 years old.
I said the reason those sisters of mine did not communicate her death to me is because they were angry with me because my grandmother gave me all of her life belongs which was not much, just a few feet less an acre of land.
My grand mother wiled that to me when I was seventeen (17) years old. I never had any interest, that is why I never build anything on it, not chicken shed, never mind a home, some of nieces and nephews are still angry with me because of that. Nevertheless, my last surviving sister by mother is living on it, I am helping her to survive there dies before me, I still will not have any use for that piece of land, maybe Mr. Hansey will do whatever he wants it after I am dead oui!
Other than that the only other who seems to have any interest in it is my late brother Almour children in New York, I doubt they will ever return to Dominica to live; Rochelle wanted to build a vacation home there, she was not even born in Dominica, so I don’t know.
If you are talking about ( me grandmother dead and me doh know, you doh saying anything to shame me, cause I doh have no shame.) Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You are not shaming me one bit, now if I and my grandmother did not agree that if we did not see or talk to each other after she summoned me home; not to worry about it, perhaps I would be depressed about her death, and the hell you are giving me here would have an effect on my psyche, but right now you have not touched a single vein in me the kid; Kid Francisco, I think I know who you are though.
But what does the Bible teach; ” To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” It also teaches us to be happy when a love one dies, and be sad when our children are born.
Have a nice day, no love lost.
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
@Francisco Telemaque…I am happy we are not related or friends. You like to wepoche, mapwsea and dwell on the past…you providing lyric for calypsonians..they will not forget you…try publishing all your comments on DNO, who knows your book can be a best seller, then you’ll be able to give back to all those you think is lacking or was robed of their life’s saving..
Job well done officers,
Job well done? They had 3 guys point blank and got one.My great grand mom could have done better.The cops should be fired.
you never know the situation until you are in it, to even know how the other two escaped.
would you believe it.People come online and address the pm of a country as kerro,skerrit,etc. these same people might be raising children.this is out of order and sickening.bring your campaign else where
Little do they know, what they sow they shall surely reap in time, sooner or later. We do know what goes around comes around – in time. They better clean up their act and have respect including love in their hearts. They will, one day pay a dear price of their actions. God is taking note.
We address the president of the US as Obama…so what if we call the Prime Minister Skerrit. Is that not his name? I think you need to bring your misguided campaign elsewhere. Dimwit.
where is the connection to the subject above
@Macaguee, “Only now you talk a ‘GOOD ADVICE’”
When I previously wrote “GOOD ADVICE” in response to the post I responded to, ALL WHO GAVE A THUMBS DOWN MISUNDERSTOOD.
I was NOT saying that the person was giving “GOOD ADVICE” I was saying “IS THIS THE ADVICE YOU GIVE TO OTHERS”? This is what “GOOD ADVICE” meant.
I wish we would UNDERSTAND before using “OUR” thumbs to respond.
GO AHEAD, GIVE ANOTHER “THUMBS DOWN”.
COMMON SENSE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. ‘READ TO/AND UNDERSTAND’
Please Mr. Carbon. Send Back Jay J and Kenny. This is our last request!
The law in da is to good these thug should be off the street. No bail wake up put more. Harsh laws stop blaming the pm. Go and do agriculture. Everyone does not need a. Office. Job
i am with u 100%…..but some of these young men dont even want an office job…..its work in general they just dont want to work…..they’re offered job and their response is they dont want to work for no man…..and when they get in trouble they and everybody else blame it on the government.
Everyone was not meant to work in an office. I can tell you (many people could), office work does not pay. You cannot really get rich working in an office. You work hard and especially these days, receive very little salary increase or none at all while the cost of living escalates including taxes.
They could make much more money in agriculture, planting produce. There is pride in owning your own business and working on the land. There is also money in it especially growing fruits and vegetables including flowers. This is what it calls reaping the benefits of the fruits of their toil.
kudos to the commonwealth of dominica police force in solidarity with this action those kind of crime has no room in dominica we need to take back this country from this dam thugs who think they can just steal from the poor ppl of this country we need stiffer penalty changing opf the laws of this land reinstating magistrate tiyanny behanzin. who had the entire north quiet now crime seems to taking control what is government doin about this .its time for draconian laws in this country forget the politics look at the officer who got stab by this men and on bail now what was magistrate george thinking to grant this men bail shame shame shame shame on her poor decision.lack of professionalism.what is government doin in terms or transporting this young man overseas for further medical treatment if it was a minister of government they would have flown out a long time ago but dont worry one day it might just be a minister turn. shame on this government for turning a blind eye on crime .i will never vote for this labour led government again and by the grace of god i wont anyway officers shoot first this will send a warning to the rest peace be with u all at this tim aand continue to pray for your fallen brethren.remember shoot first
I agree these guys need to get off the block and go plant some fig and dasheen so they can go market and sell. its a shame Dominica has come to this where persons are robbed at gunpoint by these guys. any use of force should be used to bring crime under control. Dominica needs to be taken back from the hands of crime. its the only way there is gonna be a future for the younger ones.
I saw then uno….one ask me where is the closes subway station, I told him he should drive North, turn right two blocks down to stalk Farm street, and enter cell 66…the idiot say Thank you mam….shameless…they think is cowboy and Indians movie man or robin hood…
hahahahahahahahaha wooooyyyyyyyyyyy loooook kickssss dominicans all u really not easy…………….. seriously wat robbing the credit union have to do with skerrit and lenox smh
robbery with gun, the police must shoot to kill
how long was the foot chase??…if there was one did they escape between houses or in the bushes??
WELL DONE GUYS>. YOU ALL DESERVE A FAT RAISE. THANK GOD FOR U COURAGE. THOSE CRIMES NEED TO STOP IN OUR COUNTRY.

Good Job Officers!
Ya but then we would cry Police Brutality !Good Job the man shot is nursing His wounds that means police will get the full story from Him
Good Job Officers!
U nxt
Good job boys; but always remember that it is cheaper to pay the Undertaker than to maintain these thugs at the State Prison
That is a dangerous and illegal idea that You propose!
J.P., do you have empathy for those thieves? They are more than thieves, turned murderers. They did not only go to steal but to injure and kill anyone who would stand in their way. Expect the comments will not be compassionate towards those thieves. It is a shame as a D/can you are not. Support your fellow D/cans in the fight against crimes. You do not know whose turn will be next. It could be you or someone close to you.
you are right butch,the police wasted government bullet,tomorrow the same guys are on bail on the road to plan their next move.
I say Amen to that.The only good robber is a dead one.I suggest the ministry of national security should give law enforcement officers the free reign to permanently subtract these criminal/ bandits from soceity.Lets make our streets,homes businesses and financial institutions safe once again.
MR St Jean. I don’t agree.
i agree wit u mi brata them de’ should be dead. poor people hard earned money
Why are people blaming the government for all these criminals’ actions? Maybe it’s because the government is the one raising these kids? Why not blame these kids, their upbringing… for some of these issues. You mean because someone didn’t give you a job, does that mean you have to commit a crime to feed your greed? While government needs to do more to generate employment, they cannot be blamed for all of society’s ills. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.
The escalating nature of crime is not just a Dominica issue… criminals are just becoming more bold, brazen, callous and senseless in their actions. It is a deterioration in the human condition. When we have these weaknesses in character and spirit in society, it creates a cesspool for demonic strongholds!
The only thing that the govt should be blamed for is not ensuring that these criminals stay in jail.
Good job. When you wrong we say it. Based on the story use of exessive force seem justified. They were armed and dangerous. Lets hope the court system does not let us down
The force was not excessive if it is justified!
You do not have.. stay without . Go to school and get an education young people we are the future of Dominica.
Welp they see how armed bank robbers are treated in Dominica…….20 years to call the case while the criminals are out enjoying their life………..they should recieve 25 years
How the hell did the police allow them to escape??? How many police vehicles arrived at the scene??..they were already driving away on their escape vehicle……..my God how many roads do we have in Dominica???……I’m sure someone in a back office at the bank or someone outside called the cops while the robbery was taking place……………how long did it take the police to arrive………DeTails please
This is not investigation discovery love – its DNO.
Anon, do not make me laugh. Your comment is funny.
Thiny…..you watching toooo much TV.
Investigation has nothing to do with my question…….just want to know if the cops could have done a better job
thiny, this is questionable. How did they happen to escape? One simple thing the police could have done was to put a spoke in their wheel, i.e., to shoot at one of their tires or shoot at their legs. Police must shoot to maim; not shoot to kill, to prevent them from escaping. This would have immediately stopped them in their tracks. Too often they try to protect those criminals. Dominicans would have been happier if they were all caught.
don’t ask foolish questions that you know will not be answered. they cant give out that kind of info you should know better the fact remains that they responded fast enough to be able to at least shot one. he will have to talk or go down alone.
Come on officers, why allu shooting coshee (crooked) so huh? Man like Butcher forget to explain to allu how to shoot before they retire man? Next time aim for the upper torso and slightly left so the job can do done once and for all. Anyway, good job so far and thanks for you selfless service. Be mindful that Change Will Come…
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
LOL, LOL. Butcher should come out of retirement and show them how it’s done.
Why are these idiots committing these type of crimes in Dominica!! There’s nowhere to run dummy… they must catch you! just plant your fig, smoke your weed and raise a family…. u done!
I agree hundred percent,if u are unable to feed children don’t make them. some of us young people just want to breed like animals and sit and wait for government and other government institutionsto feed us. the year start off well we need more crimes like these. young people need jobs mr pm.
Sometimes I really wonder about human beings when comments like these are made. If you had a family member working at that credit union that got robbed and that individual got hurt would you be singing the same ……now? Get a life and go create some employment!!!!
You started on a good note, but you changed course. Disappointed.
…And also badly off course, propagating crimes/ thefts.
sweetielious should be arrested for making such a statement. Must be a relative or friend who stands to gain from the avails of crimes and this one. Could be considered aiding and abetting.
The amount of money the police was able to recover, must get sweetielious angry who will not be able to get a share of it. Therefore, sweetielious is eating his/her heart out with anger and disappointment at not being able to receive some of the loot and to enjoy it.
@ sweetilicious ,are you on drugs or something? don’t you know that the next victim can be you or your family member? rubbish rubbish rubbish !would you like a job like the one the fella get when he got the shot in his …? well go and do crimes and you’ll get employed you EDIOT.
I think the policemen should be commended for such swift action. Just thankful to god that no one got hurt and that they were able to recover much of the cash.
Congrats to the police for doing a good job.
These are the mamawabin children. These are the childen they make for skerrit.
Shame on you to make such a statement.
I say shoot to kill. Irridicate them
The Law is shoot to maim. Even some bleeding hearts will oppose it.
Carnival coming them yute want to bling….Bus isn’t one of them one of the person who also robbed NDFD. isn’t he on bail for that offence and another offense??SMH….law is for one set….
Once caught, they should be kept in prison.
Pure idiots robbery without a getaway plan,but thew will be out free shortly,with the money hungry sytem in this country,its a joke.
I do not think they did not have a get away plan. They are foolish. They should know that the streets are not meant for escaping just as Dominica is not meant for such a crime of an exorbitant sum of money. It is too bad the police did not catch the other two. They will be caught sooner or later.
I would like to congratulate the fine members of the Dominica : police force for the wonderful , and hard work they are doing I am sure the rest of those who commit that crime will be cough, they should use the water boarding technique used in cuba Guantanamo,to get a confession from the ones in the hospital to find out who the ones that got away are.
Mr. Norde will be quick to get the police to have his client bailed even before he leaves the hospital, so by that the police will not have time to interrogate his client.
Mr. Norde! another client for you.
When these scumbags are finish , they will blame the govt. for not providing jobs
God will hold Mr. Norde accountable and for placing them out on the streets, to re-offend. There won’t be too many lawyers in Heaven, if none at all. Also consider their cost.
The year just start whats wrong with u all young ppl?.it look to me u all did not go down on u all knees on the first and pray . don’t you boys know this monies are monies the little farmers sell their little load they save for rainy days, why don’t u all do the same? Dno reported cash were recovered andsomeone was shot but , did they get the weapons?
It started out on a bad footing. Two murders and this theft which could very well have ended in Credit Union staff being injured or killed. Pray for Dominica.
all I can say is woodfordhill was never like this , so tell me ,why the change
IF you are sick ,unless you admit your illness you will never be healed or work towards your healing ,
FREEDOM was there ,woodfordhill was good ,WORKERS was there ,woodfordhill was better ,NOW labour is there ,woodfordhill is worse off ,so what happened,IF is no fault of the government , then is who ,,HYPOCRITES,pretenders ,GOD hates stop worshipping poverty things will get worse ,call a spade a spade
woodfordhill people were independent ,I lived there ,I worked there for years ,
Now they are beggers ,it hurts my heart to see what they,ve become , still they want to blame everyone else ,but the ones responsible who have really put them in this situation ,RISE up people ,RISE UP
why blame the Government for the foolish thing that people chose to do on their own.Woodfordhil
has changes that is due to some young people refused to go out and work but reather plane on stilling other people money that they work so hard for.(Don’t BLAME THE GOVERNMENT)People need to pray more for our country,and startusing their thoughts to uplift Dominica and not to bring it down by planning to break a bank to get money or to do something unlawful.
Excuse me but how are yo sure that the guys are from Woodfordhill criminals come from all over and try to taint Communities
I agree with u 100%, the guys are not from WFHill.
I think DNO should publish the name of the one who is hospitalize, this might be a deteration to crimes
Be real Woodfordhill was never good because I was living there so please don’t blame the Government.
Put the blame where it belongs, on those thieves with wicked hearts who are too lazy and who do not want to work for their living. They probably were (are) disobedient and school drop-outs. They want big money which they did not earn; envious of the property of others. They are under the yoke of Satan. In other words, they are bad eggs who have no love and respect for their fellow people, who will go to any length to steal and in the interim could kill to get what they want. They deserve lifetime imprisonment.
JACKASS!!
@ Truth ,if this is the case why were you not involved in the crime? ppl like you must stop these negative talks the criminals are listening to you , I am gainfully employed and I am a part time farmer with very little time but I do very well in my farm,if I were you I would advise these guys to get some place and plant some crop and make their own box ,if you support them in their ….you don’t love them.
Hats off to the law, excellent police work………now catch the rest, use force if u have to, send a clear message to these criminals, they wont be tolerated.
Dominicans just incompetent in every thing they do, whether is politics or the criminals activities. A little bank you robbing and you let the police shoot and capture one of your accomplices? If this was Foreigners such as Russians or Mexicans the police would be dead and the guy who got shot would be dead. If you gon do a crime at-least use your head!
Truly sick and offensive
Are u serious?
Yor marlboohoe that id a coment to put on internet tehbe.darm malfayteh is people like allu that need to be executed.DNO why u allow this comment to be posted???????? Sacray malfayteh boohoe allez posting such offensive comment
u must be a damn idiot to speak like that. Who knows, u must have been one of the perpetrators stuppes
This is what you watch on TV. Go plant bananas instead. This will help to alleviate the poverty problem on island.
What a stupid comment!; how stupid can we get?
You impress me that you must be a criminal, condoning the crime the thieves have committed; that is a violent crime, any act of stealing which involve weapons such as guns and knifes is not considered a simple felony, how can you condone such crime in the country, and talk nonsense about crimes in Russia.
What do you know about Russia?
I’ll tell you what!
In Russia, the thieves would be shot on sight, rather than the police getting killed, and before you ask what do I know about Russia, be informed that my youngest daughter is married to a Russian, and there are not many black Russians, he is not Black!
Soon I am going to have half black Russian, grandchildren!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Oh my! I never expected to read this, coming from a D/can. You hate D/ca and especially its law-abiding nationals so much?
What sort of a person are you? What type of heart do you have? What type of Dominican are you?
You must be one of the criminals or was once a criminal or one who has never been caught. What other reason do you have to make such a statement?
DNO WHY DID YOU PUBLISH THIS NONESENSE?
I blame Linton for this one. You come talking about integrity in public office and no corruption in Govt, now every criminal desperate to commit crime before you become pm.
You’re from real brother?
@Skerrit_Bashibng_Crew Yes you are one of Skerrits lapdog. You have made it clear.Leave the honest, Lennox Linton out.He understood very well the biblical tenets thou shall not steal, cheat and give greedy people what the poor deserves. Take it or leave it, he will soon be your PM. See how fast your laziness will stop.You’ll no longer cover your face when I see you at the Red Clinic. As a little child your mother always used to tell you how your lazy attitude will cripple you in the long run. Now see what has befallen you. You are begging even the poor. Anyway thanks God TEAM DOMINICA led by the indomitable Lennox Linton will employ you. YOU WILL GET A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE TO BE INDEPENDENT SOON. MAKE USE OF IT!
Idiot did you see the sarcasm? Thats how UWPwees are so desperate they even eat their own without looking, so quick to insult no wonder you will stay in the yard. Flies are caught with honey not vinegar.
I really like this one!!! You made me laugh for the first time today
Mr carbon send back our corporal and sergeant please
same thing .one got shot the three others escape….and yet the marigot credit robbers are still not brought to justice .*the worst governement job in dominica is law enforcement ,they are not recognise for their jobs .some lawyers,judges and magistrates always throw some criminals back on the streets to taunt them.smh
Good job officers. Do not allow the criminal elements amongst us to take over society. Good job.
The law needs to catch the criminals very quick and give them very hard sentences. Do let let them destroy Dominica. We are just beginning to pick up with tourism, etc and cannot afford to be held back with crime. Please God do let Dominica become like Jamaica or Trinidad. Try to create jobs and get the young people working – give them some sense of pride.
Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago has the most crimes per Capita in the Caribbean.
You want Dominica to become like that?
Obviously the person meant “don’t let Dominica become like Jamaica or Trinidad” or “DOH”. Smdh at you people.
Fellas turn all u self in, no need to run or resists arrest, better luck next time, just get Ma Dier to represent all u, we have no bail act, all u fellas safe man. If u all start early in 2014 u have a chance to break 2013 record… i luv my pm!
She’s on medication.
BY THE WAY, STOP ENVYING WHAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD SO YOU WILL NOT STEAL TO HAVE IT. SMH!
I anticipate more to come the criminals are happy the moved the Corporal and Sergeant so quick. Am hearing their negative vibes out there we are in trouble. That’s the same wesley district which had 7 unsolved murders they dried up due to quality Police work but look out.
poor simit wi boi, d place cya man hold up it self………………..hmmmmmm
yea poor simit for real, the villagers needs to work together and see to it that positive effects are being updated.
It is sad that these robberies are so frequent in our beloved country. These things can have far reaching consequences. Business persons may consider here is not safe to invest, even our tourism industry can be adversely affected. I am not sure what the cause is but judging from what I observed when I last visited home;security is poor. Some people refuse to do farming for even when they can do no better. I agree a thief is a thief no matter what.
Oh God” staff of the Credit Union be strong the robbers MUST hang themselves. I fee the staff’s pain
well yes Lennox and his Gang? what they have to do with whats going on..never knew Lennox was the Leader of the country??????? e seems you vex man wa mek you no go naym steak too
Wesley Police district on the rise again as expected.
Lol smh yes sa woodfordhill come out!judge not but the same village ppl can do that!its not the first robbery to happen in woodfordhill n it wouldn’t be the last!
ikr keep ur heads high officers
Just watchin
You get what I mean d black boy they hold check out hos to bff and they restless
Crime must be on the increase cause too many criminals are given light penalties . Stiffer penalties need to be handed down to send a message and deter would be criminals . People literally get away with murder in Dominica so what do you expect , plus our justice system is flawed and full of back log , too long to have a hearing .
Already? Awa wi.
Morning all. Is it me or is it that the credit unions in the North east are always being robbed? There may be more behind this.
Let us pray for the staff
Sigh, the year just start oui. I mean, I don’t like to judge perpetrators because who knows what situations fuel their negative and hurtful actions…but kamem, bondieu, ease up on the negativity nuh man. Have a conscience!
That’s not good news for this lovely community.
Is there a high unemployment rate in Dominica, or people just don’t care to work? and only want to kill and steal? Blame the Government. They encourage crimes by turning a blind eye.
You are such a CUT-L-ARSE.
Fact is, only under this government watch has violent crime been recorded this high.
When you have an unruly government you have an unruly state.
Criminals in high places doing crime and getting away with it is the example they see and copy.
like it or not since 2004 when this criminal gang took over, crime has spiral and will get worst.
What goes around comes around.
Pleaaasseee…. no matter which government goes in power and people want to rob places THEY WILL… y dont u say that these young fellas watchin too much tv n tryin to imitate wat they see becuz they believe they ganstars u ppl need to start lookin at situations from different angles n stop blamin da government for evrything in dat country
Amen to that.
Rollingeyes I agree with you that you cant blame govt for every crime in the country but some thing need to be done and politicians need to be carefulwhen making statements. like the pal. rep for this area made a statement that wesly does not have crime, this was a few days after a young man was shot, the criminal was cuaght and showed the police where he hid the gun.that is one and the police need to improve on the way investigations are done.my house at wesley was broken into,by people who broke a window 18×11 inches where a young man was seen falling into my living room glass broken to get into my locked bedrooms blood on my bed the walls. when i ask about finger prints one officer told me he is not a finger print expert. I started my own investigation learned from my late mother and caught the thieves . they got probation but one got four years for another robbery and the other had his head almost chopped off by a relative the young man who dropped in to open the window was never charged.
@ CUT_L_ASS Your blog make some sense. The fact is the government is incompetent, and is more concerned about accumulating for themselves. HOWEVER PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO BE COUNTED, in voting them out.
@ power house wesley. The exact same thing you experienced happened to my Cousin. His home was broken into and jewelry and other items were stolen. The police was called and my Cousin said that he has a suspect, because a young man had previously made such threats against his house. I was present when the two officers came to the home – no finger prints were taken and no arrest was made. I had just given my Cousin a brand new expensive wrist watch, which was also stolen. Now tell me, what are paying these police officers to do? eh? the damn government is to be blamed for the lawlessness that’s going on in our Country! you foolish guys are blaming TV and all that nonsense! I watch TV too!
Survival by any means…
GOOD ADVICE.
THUMBS DOWN?
When a person writes “Survival by any means…” Is that good advice?
A criminal is a criminal no matter the circumstance.
Well they will get who eh. Dey can run but can’t hide we on the watch…
Again, the New Year just start,,,,people really desperate.
Desperate people are not thieves. A THIEF WILL ALWAYS BE A THIEF.
Only now you talk a ‘GOOD ADVICE’
The year begins the lowlife bastards start again, I hope they get them and throw the keys away on them.
It’s a shame that all of these robbery are taking place in Dominica. Lets hope it is not an inside job.
Wen poor people & their children belly grumbling, while others eating STEAK at the expense of the same poor people, it is obviously expected 4 crimes like robbery 2 present itself. It’s sad that this is wat our beautiful virgin island has come 2. Mamo was so hard, she was dubbed the Iron Lady, but things were never this hard.
While some are crying,posting negative comments and pointing finger trying to put the blame on the Government, they should also consider that Lennox and his gang are in the US eating STEAK,HAM and Turkey washed down by wine and beer ON DONATION money and careless about the NEEDY and the HUNGRY.Why are they not putting those monies in better use which can help create some employment for the youths of Dominica?
Fast and furious u not easy so why we eleteted dlp if is lennox that have to create employment or u just dump.
Let’s not for get Skeritt and Petter was in New Jersey at a dinnere to eating steak.so what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander…………..
@Anonymous;What do you want to say,the opposition has NO PART or Role to play in the development of the country? You must remember one hand can’t clap.In your opinion and others like you,the Skerrit Government must burst it’s balls and your Leader(Lennox)and his gang sewoing.
And your point is?
Y all u so called pm cannot use some of all the money he stealing 2 put back in2 the country. R u people aware that wen the likes of ur pm come 2 America that he stays at the Waldorf Astoria?
just like the pasture and priest the congregation must support them its the duty of the opposition in the house of asembly is to monitor the fonctions of the government and when require support the initiatives or if its not in the interest of the sitizens oppose the initiative the duty of the government who ever the party in power is responsible for taking initiative which will improve the life of the sitizen of aney country we the members of the party must support our leaders by financial moral oraney means possible all dominican must learn that every one has a civic duty to support our government when they do good and support the opposition when opposes a rong move by the government
iS not the poor man that stealing robbing. is the young men who want bikes , money, clothes, and dont want to work for it young women who living above their means . Imagine i spoke to a young man who had just had some issue with the law. He wanted a job.. i told him who was hiring and he said.. I DON’T WANT TO DO HARD WORK! Healthy young man!
That is why I do not believe the unemployment rate. It is overstated. They need to remove the people who are not willing to work from it. Too many lazy people in Dominica.
to many lazy people in this country just begging.
And the lies continue.
They don’t want to work. they don’t want to fish. they dont want to do agriculture, they dont want to construction.. but they want money.
How will they get it.. at the expense of others.
No respect or regard for others. I pray that they are caught and brought to justice!
ALL WHO WANT WORK ARE WORKING!! In my village there are about 100 Haitians.
Every last one has found a job and is working. I am sure this is the same in villages all over Dominica. Dominicans GO AND GET WORK TO DO. Crime does NOT pay!!!
Did you really just say Virgin Island? never new we were part of the USVI
….should get rid of my visa then
yes get rid of it, but you must have one first to do that which you don’t.
You steal because I am eating steak and you are not?
If you are unable to feed children, do not have them.
STOP SPREADING CHILDREN, THAT WILL REDUCE THEFT, HOPEFULLY.
