Barbuda Senator Robbed at Gunpoint After Arrival at Point Wharf

Police are investigating an armed daylight robbery at Point Wharf involving Barbuda Council-appointed Senator Fabian Jones.

Jones had just arrived in Antigua by boat from Barbuda on Thursday morning when a masked man in dark clothing reportedly confronted him and demanded his bag containing an undisclosed sum of money. The suspect fled in a black Honda CR-V. No injuries were reported.

Jones told Point Express he initially mistook the incident for a prank, as the vehicle resembled a friend’s.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913/3914 or the anonymous Crimestoppers hotline at 800-TIPS (8477).
