Clearly not the sharpest bunch are they. Why would you rob a shop when its just opening for business as opposed to the end of the day when presumably you would get much more at the end of the day?
First thought of many I’ll bet. Not very smart.
These days it seems like the crooks stake out properties well in advance and choose the optimal time to make their move (less security, less traffic, etc). All bets are off nowadays.
Sound like amateurs and 5’6″ is pretty short – so school kids. Should be easy to solve.
Waiting for de day when they rob de wrong person and get a beat down.
For once we agree oj.
Do that in Canada and you would have a shotgun in your face before you can say “Please give me all your money”. Problem here in Bermuda is, the people are powerless to defend themselves.
Jim Bob please don’t give these fools a clue to share between them.
Its sad, very sad, to think that there are persons of such a mind-set, to rob a store and attack the shop-keeper…they need to be flogged,and given at least 5 years community service after they have been released from prison. If a person needs a few dollars, well really something to eat then I will buy them a loaf of bread and a can of tuna fish. If a person portrays good character they will rece ive help, do a hustle and make twenty or thirty dollars. These are basically one person operated stores, and they mean a lot to the neighborhood.
