Armed Robbery: St George’s Business
Last night [Mar.3] a St. George’s business was robbed, with the suspect escaping with a quantity of cash after brandishing a gun and demanding money. The person working at the time was not injured. Police describe the suspect as a light skinned man approximately 6’ tall wearing all dark clothing and dark sunglasses.
A Police spokesman said, “Around 11pm on Thursday, Police responded to a reported robbery at a St. George’s business. It appears that an unknown man entered the premises brandishing what appeared to be a firearm and demanded money. After taking a quantity of cash the thief fled the scene. An individual working in the store at the time was not injured.”
“The suspect is described as a light skinned man approximately 6’ tall; wearing dark coloured long jeans, a dark coloured long sleeved hooded top, dark coloured sneakers and dark coloured sunglasses. Inquiries into this incident are ongoing.”
“Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with any information to contact the St. George’s Criminal Investigation Unit on 293-2222 or the independent, confidential Crime Stoppers Bermuda hotline on 800-8477.”
Just in case I’m out on the lookout for this person: Does ‘light skinned’ mean a white guy or a person of African descent with a not so dark skin?
LOL… Good Point!
LOL…what about high yella!
Thats a problem inna? When you are white, you are not really all that white. When you are black you are not really all that black.
Exactly!!! Because I would be considered to be black if you saw me because of my coloring(dark brown)..but my great grandmother was a “white” Irish woman…so whether we wish to admit it or not (and this is for those that ARE racist)we are ALL MIXED UP just as Triangle Drifter states, whether we like it or not!!!!!!!
Instead of cutting the police maybe now they will INCREASE the police presence in St George….Maybe?
Really now? When was the last time you heard of a white person being light skinned?
@ US Observer…….get real……Go to Orlando and see the dudes comming back from Jamaica after a few days in the sun. Talk about racial profilling……bwhaaaaaa
US observer: ‘light skinned’ was not a good enough description lets face it. I know the guy had a hoody on and shades – but then I’d be called racist if I assumed the dude was of African descent from that. We need to be told a better description and not pansy around with terms such as ‘light skinned’ so as not to offend some person of colour.
I happen to live in St George and would like to know who I’m up against. ‘Light skinned’ doesn’t cut it and is a pathetic attempt to Not to say BLACK!!!!!! Yes, it was a BLACK person. So just say it was a BLACK person.
If it was a WHITE person then say so too!
Okay someone tell me if I am wrong, but would it be good if we knew what Business this was? I mean if someone were outside of the place at that time, maybe they would come forward?

Good point ‘College’. I heard it was the Carriage House Resturant, but a neighbor said it was Somers Opera House.
Damn…um gattin conflictin info………
Ps. My informant tells me it was a guy with ties to Somers Gardens but the light was so bad…..
I’m from St G and a college grad too and I still have no clue what business it was. But it could be Wahoo, or Tavern, St G Club. Only the Best? Upper Crust was closed when I went by at 9.25pm. Wish someone would tell us instead of keeping it some stupid police secret.
11 pm? not so much open then? cousins/green shop?
Bernews knows exactly where it was et al.
They have a position which they have maintained. Libel is a bitch.
Everyone knows where this happened. But to print it for your ego……..

wellington road or wellington slip…nt from st geo so i dont know the road names…across from the entrance to the cricket field/football field…st geo club
LOL what store is open at 11 pm in St. Georges? That place is a ghost town by 8 pm.
What store was said witness supposed to have seen this incident? the police report must be from MI5 What or who are they trying to protect? The shop has already been hit guys you can at least reveal the name.
I used to laugh at the descriptions given of perpetrators which usually implicated half of the black population but this is a new twist LMBAO
only one place at that time…
something similar to relatives
How about the name of the establishment, would that not help!!! Could never understand why the place of the offense is held back.
I heard it was Cousins, aka, the Green Shop by Selenas.
At the end of the day the people that stay in st. Georges and pay attention know what store it is and know the names of the streets. aka Wellington. Being that this is Bermuda everyone knows that we call people of African decent with light skin “YELLA SKINNED, so i would need people to not make a big thing out of something that just takes a little common sense.
