Around 1:20am yesterday Police received the report of an attempted robbery that occurred in the area of Burnaby Street and Reid Street in Hamilton. The suspects are described as two black men dressed in dark coloured clothing; one approximately 5’8” tall of slim build and the other approximately 6’ tall of stocky build.
Police state that inquiries into this incident are underway, and are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with any information to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011.
The Dept of Tourism may as well fold up and give their huge and ineffective budget to the Police Dept.
For the most part , it seems that it’s easy for cruise lines to fill up their ships with people to whom the boat itself is the holiday , not the destination.
If they knew as much about this place as the air passengers they’d have as hard a time to fill the ships as we have filling the few hotel that are left.
With each and every passing day we slide further down the slippery slope .
