Residents shocked by latest crime escapade, as police disable getaway car and robbery suspect takes off running, barefoot Many residents are expressing shock over an incident that took place on Cross Street, mid-Wednesday morning, June 21, when an alleged robbery resulted in police officers shooting out the tyres of an “getaway vehicle” and the suspect taking off on foot.
Immediately, videos and photos went into circulation, showing a senior officer chasing the suspect, who left both slippers behind as he sped away and onto Tanner Street.
The fleeing man, wearing long corn-rowed braids and black clothing, clutched a black female handbag as he ran from the officer. Unconfirmed reports claim the man had kidnapped the victim and had jumped from the moving vehicle with her work bag.
However, other conflicting reports allege that the suspect had robbed a marijuana spot in St. Johnston’s Village, gotten into the vehicle, and driven off. Reports say that, while trying to get away from the scene, he struck a number of other vehicles.
The Police had already gotten wind of that incident, which reportedly had prompted them to be on the lookout for the vehicle, and, therefore, they were able to intercept it.
After officers allegedly shot out two tyres – the front and rear on the driver’s side – the vehicle naturally slowed down, allowing the suspect to jump out of the beat-up white Toyota Corolla and run. It was not known, up to news time, whether he had been identified or captured.
As the incident unfolded, a number of onlookers, including persons working in nearby businesses, came out to see what was taking place. Many appeared to be shocked, confused and bewildered by what actually was going on.
An emergency siren was blasting very loudly, as several men went to the assistance of a young woman who had been inside the vehicle.
She seemed to be upset, and it appeared that one man was trying to calm her down.
This broad-daylight incident has prompted locals to say, yet again, that the crime situation is spiraling out of control.
One woman says the Administration needs to do more to reduce crime, and she hopes that some of the money from the sale of the Alfa Nero will be used to properly equip the Police Force and other law-enforcement agencies.

The car is registered to whom?
Police are grossly overweight like the AG. So they are unfit.
Where are the #Bloodhounds?
Dogs should be trained to sniff more than Marijuana.
Dogs would pick up his scent from the car and track him to his hideout.
Dogs would be able to help with MISSING PERSONS as well.
DOGS DO WORK!

Let’s see how good our Detectives are. The female should be able to give a full description, plus they have the automobile, how large is our fingerprint database? Was this a single police vehicle doing this high-speed maneuver? Shouldn’t there be other police vehicles blocking and waiting and how many officers we have patrolling our town? No way should this guy just vanish.
Chase on foot? The senior officer could hardly jog enough muchless chase.
And I find a few holes in this article that makes no sense like how exactly you disable the car??? Anu got some sharp shooters in hiding
