Woman Injured During Attempted Robbery
A local woman is recuperating from injuries sustained after a would-be thief attempted to grab her purse while she was out walking, resulting in her being dragged along the street.
The woman and her husband were out walking at around 9.00pm this weekend, and when they were at the junction of Harrington Sound Road and Flatts, the suspect — who was travelling on a motorcycle heading east — approached from behind and attempted to grab the woman’s purse which resulted in her being dragged along the road.
The suspect then escaped, and while he did not get away with the purse, he left the victim with various injuries from being dragged along the road, including abrasions and bruising.
“We obviously were disturbed with this crime,” the victim and her husband told Bernews. “And we would like to ensure all possible means of obtaining further information on this incident…so would ask any possible witnesses contact the Bermuda Police.”
Anyone with any information about this incident should contact the police on 295-0011 or the confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.
Inflation brings hunger. hunger bring crime! Fix the problem o.b.a where’s the jobs our wait to tourism season things really going to get worse each person with out a job. U know what they say about idol hands
Yep – you can always count on someone blaming the OBA for crime, speeding, whatever…… anyone other than the actual perpetrator!
I would believe you if I was able to verify said hunger. There are some who would cry the same while driving in an SUV talking on their cell phone. Sorry, there is NO excuse for such abuse.
How is this an OBA problem, when it was PLP that put us into debt. Also more then likely it was a hunger for drugs not food.
How is this a government problem at all? have you been to the stores here lately or tried to get someone at a business to follow through on what you are asking for? The problem is NOT the government, it’s the work ethic. There are no jobs because businesses are closing because people are taking their business overseas. Customer service in this country is DEAD. The government didn’t do that.
No excuses for this nonsense PERIOD!
Idiot
You don’t eat crack.
put on your big boy pants; there are jobs out there for normally functioning citizens.
OBA is not there to wipe your bum, change your diaper and feed you with a spoon.
Stop making excuses for scum.
I swear this exact same thing happened a year or two ago, same spot…
People need to get involved….if I see something like this…I’m protecting lice and property …as is my right by law!….you can slap this byes’ wrist and let him go if you desire…when I am done with him!
Those who steal will always steal. If you think it is okay to take something that does not belong to you, then you will do it regardless of the economy. That is an excuse! I have had many times when things were rough and I never stole because of the hardship I was experiencing. That is how I was raised. respect other people and respect their property.
God please help our young men to make better decisions with their lives!
theses young man need to seek GOD,life is full of choice’s, they choose not to seek him,GOD is always there.regardless,
Life and property…… And yesterday I witnessed a PC actually trotting to an eighty year old man to give him parking ticket on church street…he had to give this old fellow a ticket…….I personally don’t need soft targets punished……go catch this young thief who would harm A woman….or take that uniform off…and leave itoff.
Hope somehow, they’re able to nail that despicable would-be thief.
how is this the government’s fault? Criminals are criminals. If you are struggling there are organizations to help you, crime is not a solution.
I agre with you 100%
