BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – ONE man, suspected of being involved in the recent robbery at Ram’s Wholesale Department in Bird Rock, is currently in police custody assisting with investigations into the despicable act.
Information reaching this publication states that members of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) swooped down on the alleged suspect who was at the time seen at the Independence Square in Basseterre.
According to informed sources, the suspect was recognised from the footage provided by management of Ram’s Group of Companies, which had gone viral, and the CID was alerted.
It is believed that the suspect is a national of one of the African countries, but this information is yet to be confirmed.
Efforts by this media house to contact the individuals who are responsible for the dissemination of information of such nature were futile.
At about 3:50 p.m. on Friday (May 22), two armed bandits had entered the Ram’s Bird Rock premises pretending to be members of the Christian-based religious movement, Jehovah Witness.
One of them, who was positioned on the verandah handing out religious flyers to customers, attacked the business establishment’s Manager, robbed him of an undisclosed sum of money and inflicted a wound to his head during the process.
Following the daring robbery, both men had made good their escape but the entire incident was caught on camera – CCTV.
Since then, management of the business establishment had offered an ES$10 000 reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction.
More on this latest development as confirmation from the police and further information are made available to this media house.
