Around 1:15am today [Aug 21] police responded to a robbery outside Four Star Pizza in Sandys, which saw the suspect approach a male staff member outside the premises and demand money, while hitting the employee with a piece of wood.
The suspect stole the employee’s wallet, and as a co-worker and a passing motorist came to the staff member’s aid, the suspect then fled on foot, while the stolen wallet was later recovered in the area by officers.

The (Wild)West is getting like town…..sigh
It is beyond the point of smacking Johnny on the hand and saying naught boy, We need some evasive actions taken against these uleless thugs who are hell bent on just walking up to people who go to work and try to do the right thing, all while these clowns run around making a muckery of the law.Perhaps it’s time to start removing those hands as they do in other places… Enough has long since been enough
I think removing hands is extreme,if you feel that way does that go for white collar crime too?
Then many of your favorite politicians would be ‘handless’
what, like taking bribes for over a decade from an overseas healthcare company?

System is so flawed we the good and often affected are more disengaged and punished than the perpetrators. Time to either throw the comic book at them and sentence them seriously to a paid lallygag vacation at Bermudas only 5 star vacation spot complete with all mod cons. Time for the kid glove treatment is over!!!!!!!!!!!!Send them to a Russian camp but then they are just lost soles because of us. BS
The system is 3rd world, we see it on a daily basis where petty crimes don’t even get looked at, the police no longer attend categories of incidents which can include car accidents, they are no longer seen in public, don’t have the confidence of the people, have management and allegedly corruption issues, hire in the most ineffective Police seen anywhere so we need a top to bottom fix starting from the Government ministers.
