Masked Gunmen Strike Twice in Cane Garden Bay
Two masked men, armed and dangerous, were caught on surveillance footage storming a business establishment in Cane Garden Bay late last night, January 13.
The footage shows the duo brandishing what appear to be firearms as they made their way into the premises, sparking panic in the usually tranquil community.
In a separate incident reported in the same area, a prominent local businessman was attacked and beaten by bandits who demanded cash. Details about the extent of the injuries or the amount stolen remain unclear.
The back-to-back incidents have put business owners, employees, and residents on edge, with many calling for swift and decisive action from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.
Community members are urging authorities to deploy targeted strategies to address the recent surge in criminal activity, emphasising the need for an immediate crackdown on perpetrators to restore a sense of safety and normalcy in the area.
Police have yet to release a formal statement.
