BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – ARMED bandits on St. Kitts have struck again, and this time their targets were a number of patrons who were within a bar in Newton Ground.
According to the police, at about 10 o’clock last night (Jan. 22), two masked men armed with handguns had robbed several persons who were in the Body Slam Bar in Newton Ground.
One individual reportedly suffered minor injuries during the robbery, but not gunshot, and was later treated at the Pogson Hospital in Sandy Point.
Ongoing investigations by officers of the Sandy Point Police Station revealed that one of thieves was described as being “six feet in height and thick, and the other about five feet six inches in height and slim”.
The investigating officers are once again seeking the public’s support in apprehending the two men.
