Meanwhile, a 911 operator telephoned CID and reported that there had been a robbery in Cassada Gardens No. 5, at about 9:49 p.m. on Friday, November 17.
As a result of the incident the victim had to be treated in the Emergency Room of the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre.
Reports say the victim was walking in the neighbourhood when, upon reaching the junction at Cassada Gardens Drive, he felt someone hold onto his shirt.
He reportedly was thrown to the ground, after which three men then grabbed his fanny-pack containing $400 in cash, his credit union bank book, and other Government ID’s.
Each of the robbers was armed with a cutlass, the victim alleged; so, in an effort to defend himself, he held onto a cutlass and was wounded on the left thumb and middle finger and the palm of his right hand.
These wounds, according to doctors, are superficial.
The three assailants were said to be dark in complexion, about 5’3″ in height, of a slim build, and were not wearing shirts.
A search of the area was carried out for anyone fitting the description of the perpetrators, but was without success.
