It was like a wave and then into January of the New Year it became worst,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough was enough,\u201d St. Aimee charged, claiming that he received no help from the police, and there was a lack of security in the area<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On July 4, at about 11: 10 p.m., St. Aimie and his son heard a loud \u201cbang\u201d while monitoring the building. He said that the building was properly secured however the window had been destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI positioned myself and then saw a shadow enter via the damaged window \u2026. I then lanced at the male figure who grabbed at me and since I had to defend myself and property he was given some cutlass lashes,\u201d the restaurant owner explained.<\/p>\n<p>St. Aimie has called on the police force to do more to provide more security to businesses in the capital. \u00a0\u201cNo one has the guts and or courage to stand up despite the fact that business places in Roseau and environs are being steadily burglarized\u2026the police are of no support, they are worthless. I am fed up. I am working hard and can no longer tolerate the fact that people are, during the night time, regularly breaking and entering my place,\u201d he said with a sigh.<\/p>\n<p>The perpetrator was admitted to the Princess Margaret Hospital to be treated for the cutlass wounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The proprietor of St. Aimie\u2019s Diner &amp; Catering Services was forced to defend his life and property this month after being fed up of a series of burglaries at his business over the past two years.
