15-Year-Old Male Robbed At Knife Point
A 15-year-old male was reportedly robbed at knife point yesterday afternoon [Dec 14] in Sandys, the police have confirmed.
A police spokesperson said, “A fifteen-year-old male was reportedly robbed at knife point of a quantity of cash, just before 3:30 p.m. yesterday, Wednesday 14th December, 2022.
“The incident occurred shortly after the teenaged boy got off a bus and made his way along Clyde Best Lane, Sandys.
“Three males, all said to have been wearing dark clothing with ski masks on, reportedly approached the teenager. One of them allegedly pulled out a small knife, held it against the victim’s upper body and demanded money.
“The young man complied and the suspects then left the area on foot. Although they were fully covered the victim could see that two of the males were dark skinned and one was light skinned.
“An investigation into this matter has commenced and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Inspector, Clifford Roberts of Criminal Investigations Unit/ Special Investigations, on 717-0590 or, via e-mail croberts2@bps.bm
“Nearby residents and businesses with CCTV cameras, are asked to check their recordings from between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., and get in contact with us should they see any suspicious activity around that time period.”
The police noted that the young man was not hurt.
Bermuda 2022. Circling the drain.
It never used to be like this.
Very sad and discouraging.

Thanks plp
I don’t think you can place the blame on the government for this one whether it is PLP/OBA/UBP/etc. Our society as a whole has been circling the drain. When antisocial behavior is sensationalized by the media, when family members accept the behavior because they are benefiting from that behavior, when the younger generations aren’t taught to respect their elders and fellow community members, when younger generations are taught that compassion is weakness, when we push the materialistic mindset and ignore things like self respect, dignity, and self control, when parents want to just be friends with their children and don’t want parents (and will fight other community members who attempt to intervene despite the genuine good intent), etc. This is the result… and it will get worse.
On point .
Bermudians often blame ‘de gubmint’ for everything…mainly because they don’t understand basic civics, or economics.
The OBA is blamed for everything, even when the plp is in power.
Trying to soften the blow is hypocritical and indicative of an immature electorate.
You don’t the thousands who have lost their jobs in the last 4 years have any connection to crime?
I understand your point, but I don’t believe that you fully understand mine. In a nutshell, we have been/are in a societal decline and it makes little difference who the government is since we are either blind or ignorant to the “in house” issues . To put it another way, no matter how good or bad a jockey is it’ll make very little difference to the end result if he’s riding a mule or a lame horse. He can beat it or shout at it all he wants, the odds are he isn’t going to win!
So tell us what the UBPoba would do different? Nothing accept change their name and be the same pathetic party as stands now!
Did you post in the wrong window?
This is about a 15 year old getting robbed….was it you?
It happens a lot under the plp, but you’re so weak minded that all you can do is blame the opposition. LMFAO.
