See now we cannot even go to the beach without feeling unsafe.
Unfortunately Jabberwock Beach has NOT been safe for a long, long, time…years! I know of several instances of violent robberies against white tourists and local Antiguans visiting that beach during daylight hours that have kept quiet in the media, or simply ‘forgotten’ about. I would never recommend anyone go to that beach unless you are extremely vigilant and surrounded by crowds of people. Locked vehicles are routinely broken into there as well. Also unfortunate is the rest of the island are now being more and more subjected to the same types of crimes on a routine basis. KUDOS, and ‘WELL DONE’ the police for catching this perpetrator and to the judge who ordered this swift, weighty judgement. Hopefully THIS INSTANCE and JUDGEMENT will be reported loudly for other criminals to be put on ‘notice’ because seriously, everyday it seems more crimes are committed against locals and tourists without consequence.
Here we go again, giving these flucking clowns time to pay. When are we ever going to get serious.
Jail them and stop form fool.
Should have gotten a fine of$100k or five years in prison
Cashew Hill, Golden Grove, Gray Hill, Christain Street, Hatton, Villa, Point and Swetes seems to have alot of guns 😲
