On Friday, November 5, 2016 at approximately 11:50 pm (23:50 hours), two males visiting the island were robbed by two masked armed persons dressed as what they thought were police officers.
According to the victims, the perpetrators were dressed in dark blue pants and T-shirts with the word Police printed on their backs. Once the door was opened, both men were attacked and robbed. As a result of the sustained wounds, the both visitors were taken to the SMMC for medical attention.
