Robbery: Two People Injured, Two Arrested
Two people were hospitalized after being injured during a robbery last night [Aug.27] in the Hermitage Road area, and two men were arrested in connection with the incident.
A police spokesperson said, “Around 8:45pm on Saturday, police responded to a reported robbery in the Hermitage Road, Devonshire area. It appears that the victims, a man in his 20s and a teenage girl, were sitting in a parked car in the area when they were attacked by a group of unknown men brandishing bladed articles.”
“Afterward their assailants fled the scene with a quantity of jewelry and a cellular phone. The victims were treated at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital; the teenage girl’s injuries were examined and she was subsequently released while the male victim remains at the hospital receiving medical attention for a leg wound.”
“Two men in their 20s were arrested at the hospital in connection with this incident after seeking treatment for hand injuries.”
“They also remain at the hospital; their injuries and those of the male victim are considered to be serious but not life threatening. Inquiries are ongoing. Any witnesses or anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011.
Police closed Hermitage Road off for a few hours after the incident, while the forensic unit was on the scene. Personnel from the Fire Service were also on scene washing blood off the road.
For reasons of ‘political correctness’ let’s make sure we don’t describe the attackers.
Or the victims.
I hope the victim used reasonable force to defend himself
Bermuda has it’s ticket safely booked to the third world.
But I am sure that LV will jump in and say my comments are racist. Ha [edited] ha!
DUMB, DUMB, DUMB !!!!
They caught someone…..and I hope that they prosecute them to the highest degree. I dont care who they are….Behind bars for a long time. No one should be out robbing people. Who do htese hoodlums think they are? Robbing people. For what…. what is there reason.
Make a damn example of these dudes. Do not let them walk free please….. Bring the evidence that you get to court and to the victim, do not back down on your info man. Give all your knowledge to the force and the young lady also….. Thats all I am saying……
Prosecute these two PUNKS for robbery and give them the max AND prosecute them for BEATING a woman and the put them in a cell with some guy with a long sentence looking for a “girlfriend”i if you know what I mean. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was of the guys that hang out under the Cedar tree next to Elliott Primary drinking alcohol and smoking throughout most of the day. To my neighbors…if we ignore what they do…we accept what they do!
Uncalled for comment…I hope they lock up the guys who did it too but the incident happened nearer middle road, dont assume u know who did it unless you were there
i was for everything you was sayn until you said you wouldnt be suprise if it was the guys sitn under the cedar tree next to elliot???????? you said most of the day do you just mean sat/sun because its not mon/fri. because i cross that tree everyday and they are not there @ 5:00pm when i go for my walk evenings @ 6:00 you can see the freinds coming together after work to chill and this is their neighborhood… so for you to make that comment of those young bermudian man shows that you hava greater issues for the young bleck males in general… i mean come on is this news something that you here of this young man under the tree every week doing madness……… im finish cuss i can go on and on i just didnt like the fact that this person will speculate and point fingers at these young man and dont have a clue……… i hope you dont come from this area and some day will need these young mans help for SOMETHING
I DON’T KNOW WHO U R BUT THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really!? They hang out drinking and smoking throughout most of the day?! Could’ve fooled me… I drive across there every day… Like somebody else said… nobody is out there until after 5 when they’ve knocked off from work to hang out in the neighbourhood that most of them were born and raised in…
Certainly hope that you don’t find yourself in need of assistance from these same young men… perhaps in front of that same Cedar tree one day…
Oh. Food for thought: the longer we look at these young men as outcasts, the longer they’ll act like it…
Wonder if the perps were just hungry and planned to go directly to the Market Place after their handy work to buy food for their starving family ?
No, I don’t think so either .
Young people in their 20…..sad…do they know JOB means!
I AGREE TOTALLY WITH YOU UNIV. GRAD. ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE SOME1 ON HERE DEFERRING FROM THE REAL ‘ISSUE’ @ HAND IN ORDER TO PUT FORTH THERE OPINON ON WHAT THEY THINK THEY KNOW.

SOME PEEPS NEED TO REALLY ANALYZE AND EDIT WHAT THEY “THINK” BEFORE THEY COME TYPE THERE BS FOR THE SAKE OF IT.SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE A ‘PERSONAL’ PROBLEM ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT! AND TO ALL WHO AGREE WITH ME AND THAT THESE 2 DREAMERS, WHO HURT THEMSELVES COMMITTING DIS STUPID PETTY ROBBERY & CHECKED THEMSELVES INTO KEMH SOOON AFTER, SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLNESS OF THE LAW I COMMAND YOU!!!
Knives, guns and other weapons used in criminal acts, are supposed to get a mandatory prison sentences. If they ever get to the Courts, they’ll elect to be tried in the Magistrate Court, the judge will give a slight sentence, conditional discharge or some unfortunate misfortune why they don’t DESERVE time in WESTGATE!
They should be in Supreme Court with a maximum sentence over 5 years on each of the victims!!! Wait and see what happens – it seems to be the norm in the Court system.
should put them down, that’s what they do to dogs that attack people!!
I bet they cannot read, but only educate themselves on crime. Maybe for starters give them a general school quiz in front of the public in St Georges. Each time they fail dunk them! Start them off with spelling. Ask them to spell 10 words pertaining to their crime.
Dummies probably spell t o u r i s t a t t r a c t i o n. Then again they might spell HELP!!! lol
they need to learn
