REAL NEWS: A Hatton snackette was the most recent target of robbers, as crimes of acquisition appear to continue unabated.
Reports say that two armed masked men went into Doreen’s Snackette on Tuesday, September 19, and robbed the caretaker of a sum of money that was taken from the cash register.
Further reports say the incident was reported to the Grays Farm Police Station by another Hatton resident, who told the lawmen the business had been robbed at about 2:20 p.m.
Several officers are said to have visited the scene, where they were informed that the owner of the snackette is currently off island.
However, the caretaker says that, while she was in the business place, she observed the lower half of a wooden door being opened.
Reportedly, she later saw two men – whom she describes as being tall and slim, dark in complexion, and dressed in black masks and gray hooded shirts – enter the snackette.
They were armed with knives, she alleges, and demanded money.
According to the victim, the men then grabbed the cash register, which contained over $200 in cash, and exited through the same door.
They reportedly jumped into a silver Toyota Vitz that had been waiting outside and drove off in a northerly direction.
The wooden door was left open while the shell of the cash register lay on the floor.
The Police reportedly carried out a search for the vehicle and its occupants in the Golden Grove Extension, Five Islands, and Hatton areas, but without success.
Officers are conducting investigations into the robbery, which comes
after two masked gunmen robbed the Oriental Choice Supermarket of an undisclosed sum on Sunday, September 17.
Reports are that the bandits, who had their faces concealed, stormed into the All Saints Road supermarket at about 3:15 p.m. and robbed both cash registers before making their escape in a waiting vehicle.
A Toyota Vitz was also used in this caper; but, reportedly, it was grey in colour.
However, its registration number appears to be close to the one that was involved in the Hatton robbery.
The incident on Sunday reportedly was captured on CCTV footage.

Get Police and ABDF on the road. Call out the retired officers and just shake up Antigua. Keep the comminutues hot, make the criminals uncomfortable. This is like a dyam joke now. People are afraid to start a little business in this place for fear for their lives. Antigua is sleeping? Its time to give the criminals a headache. Too much talk. Its time to seriuosly take back our communities with neighbourhood watch by the men in the villages.
Police need to take them out. They dyam disgusting now. They terrorizing the country but when police shoot them people say police wicked. Suppose they had killed that poor woman. If the prison full send them jail in guadeloupe, see if they can be bad there. I am just fed up everyday is the same thing.
Another thing police need to stop patrol in mark vehicle all the time. Stake out the communities in plain clothes and private vehicles, and the sane way the criminals change number plate transport board need to give police plates that they can switch when they go on their stake out. I am fed up.
@side viewer (SV), That is exactly why I demanded for my license to be expedited and approved before I open any business in Antigua. This is literally the only thing I am waiting for.
