Police are investigating\u00a0an alleged robbery at the St Joseph Village Council, which occurred at approximately 11:00 AM on Monday, March 16, 2026.<\/p>\n

According to police reports, the complainant, identified as the\u00a0\u00a0Clerk of the St. Joseph Village Council, reported that an individual held her by the collar and removed a drawer containing an envelope with a sum of EC $6,332.00 (Six Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Two Dollars). The culprit then fled the scene with the money.<\/p>\n

The complainant stated that she began screaming following the incident. She further reported that upon arrival at the St. Joseph Police Station, she was extremely traumatized and collapsed. She was subsequently transported to the St. Joseph Health Centre, where she was examined and diagnosed with elevated blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Further reports indicated that\u00a0the culprit escaped by running up the hill located near the Council Office.<\/p>\n

Officers of the St. Joseph Police Station, along with several young men from the village, conducted a search of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

During the search, a black pair of trousers was discovered in the direction in which the culprit reportedly fled.<\/p>\n

Police officers from the St. Joseph\u00a0area are continuing investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n
