BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THREE men are currently in custody charged with assault with intent to rob three residents of Frigate Bay.
The three men are 19-year-old Ryan ‘Flyboy’ Warner, Bernell Whyte (21) and 22-year-old Audinton Syder, all of whom gave their address as Fort Thomas Road, McKnight.
According to Police Press and Public Information Officer (PIO) Sergeant Stephen Hector, at approximately 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 12, 2012, three residents of Frigate Bay had arrived home and were exiting a vehicle when Warner, Whyte and Syder allegedly approached them with drawn handguns and demanded money from them.
Hector stated that the residents told the alleged intended robbers that they had no money in their possession and the men fled the scene. None of the Frigate Bay residents were harmed.
The matter was later reported at the Frigate Bay Police Station and, following a two-week investigation, the three men were arrested on Sunday (May 27) and subsequently charged with assault with intent to rob.
The PIO also stated that success of the investigation was mainly due to assistance from the business community in Frigate Bay that provided footage from their surveillance cameras.
“The Commissioner and ranks of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force would like to thank the business community and other law abiding citizens for the conscientious efforts they have made in recent times in providing assistance to the police.
“In our drive to take back the streets and make the Federation a safer place for residents and visitors, we would like to thank all those law-abiding persons to continue the good work. However, we would like to advise those individuals who can afford to install security cameras or other security measures, to do so now in order to deter criminals from carrying out their nefarious acts,” Sergeant Hector said.
