BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE Saddlers Branch of the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank was the site of an alleged robbery attempt early yesterday afternoon (Dec. 22).

According to the Police Press and Public Relations Officer, Inspector Cromwell Henry, it was reported that the guard saw a hooded man dressed in black with a bag approaching the door to the Saddlers Branch of the National Bank, and acting on suspicion of the man’s motive he immediately locked the door.

Upon finding the door locked, the hooded man made several attempts to open it but was unsuccessful and the guard notified the authorities.

Police arrived at the bank minutes later but the man had already fled the scene.

The incident occurred at about 2:00 p.m. and bystanders claimed that the hooded man was also armed with a gun.

SKNVibes contacted representatives of both the Saddlers Branch and the Bank’s Headquarters in Basseterre but was unable to get a comment. ~~Adz:Right~~
