A 17-year-old individual, accused of committing robberies in three separate incidents, has been detained in His Majesty’s Prison.
The underage suspect appeared before the Child Justice Board today, and their name cannot be disclosed due to legal restrictions.

The police claim that the two males captured on the school’s surveillance camera used a flare gun to injure an employee during the robbery.
The 17-year-old has also been indicted for robbery in connection with two prior incidents: one on April 11 in Villa and another on May 14 at Campsite.

The legal system in Antigua is flawed and urgently need to be overhauled. It’s high time that teenagers, especially those in the late teens that decided to take up crime as a career be treated as adult criminals and not like children. They are not children. B.S. Don’t you see the trend? They are coming armed to the teeth with guns, knives, machete, and well masked up to hide their identity. And when you resist them or challenge them you’re likely to lose your life or be grievously harmed. We have lots of young career criminals roaming the streets and many more are taking up the trade because they are reaping big time where they haven’t labored, and when caught they get special treatment because they are children. What can go so? These criminals need to have the whole darn law library slammed in their faces, they need to be rooted out of society. I have no sympathy for career criminals. If someone because of circumstances steal a little food because they are hungry, ok, I can understand. I will even try to help such an one. But when you plan and execute a brazen robbery under arms on a hard working citizen, it’s time for the cat-o’-nine-tails in your lazy good for nothing behind and then lost you away in jail. And when you’re done serving your time, the government put you to work cleaning the streets, drains, parapets, etc, until you get it in your head that by the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread.
Amen n amen to this I love it.Well just so p I think to suppose it was a real gun n not flare? Ppl work so hard for what they want and them feel them can just say give me and if you don’t have what they want u must mek sure u have nxt time??
