I want to know if it is only cannabis crimes this police force can solve. legalize the herb, give young people a break and go do some real work. too many unsolved cases in little antigua. After all it is better than **ism which they see no problem with.

@ViAgra Kills you sound like you got nukkle from a policeman leave your personal life out of this and get serious and stop taken those viagra's, seems like your still experiencing blurred mind,headache and loss of hope

This. Is the second time that this businessman was attacked. Based on the damages to the vehicle someone of the perpetrators must have gotten hurt. Come on people if you don't trust the police call the crime stoppers hot line 1 800 222 TIPS (8477) as the saying goes god help those who help themselves. ALL HE WAS DOING WAS MAKING AN HONEST LIVING HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS NOR DOES GRAVY OR MRS POWELL OR ANY OF THE OTHER VICTIMS OF CRIME. CRIME DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT THE VICTIMS BUT THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.

Is the same kind of crimes with roBbery that happen in the Virgin islands where I was born

**SlyThatGuy** » 2013-03-03 23:48

Viagra Kills!,when you say that you have ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH in the police force,are you saying that If someone were to attack a member of your family and robbed him or her of their money and you witnessed it,you wouldn't report the incident to the police? If you say yes,then you trust them. On the other hand,your family would ABSOLUTELY LOSE ALL FAITH in you if you just flatly refuse to share any information with the police that might help them to bring the person responsible for the crime against your family member to justice.

@ senseless, I found your comment to be rather "senseless" indeed. I for what do not have the backs of the police force (as they do not have mine nor the country's). Why should I trust you, when you have exposed my **ocks to cold air. Gimme a break. Some radical changes need to be made within the force. God forbid I should witness a crime and have to describe the perpetrator to the police. Next thing you know, an officer divulges information to their spouse/girlfrie nd and she tell x, and x tell y and y tell z...etc. My confidentiality as a witness has been serisouly compromised. And yes this is happening NOW in the force even as we speak. I could go on and on, but the Police Force is ill-equipped and ill-prepared and ill-trained to handle reality.

**McGi** » 2013-03-03 18:15

I have seen comments about ppl want to leave cause the crime situation is bad. Those who are considering the US there is no much better.

**SlyThatGuy** » 2013-03-03 16:07

The reason we are seeing so many robberies carried out by armed masked men in Antigua & Barbuda is that the masked robbers have already figured out that,unless they are caught at the scene,they will get away with the crime every single time.So you can say that by wearing the mask,which makes it more difficult or nearly impossible to identify them after the damage is done, criminals have found a reliable way to beat the system,and even the surveillance cameras.

**Viagra Kills!** » 2013-03-03 11:35

@ Topez - perhaps people are staying mum because the police have no credibility. I for one have ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH in the police force. Why should I turn to the devil for help with sin???? I repeat - I have ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH in the Royal Police Force of Antigua & Barbuda!!! What is Vere Brown doing to restore public confidence in the force? The answer? [unatta fart!

**Resident** » 2013-03-03 10:31

Another armed robbery in Antigua. What a surprise! Where were the police patrols? There are none. With all the police supposedly ordered back to work by the security minister....whe re is the police commander in chief? Missing in action is he? Perhaps government didn't call him back after all...for a reason. Time for a change in police chiefs....the PM better act now before the election or the new administration will most certainly act to replace our police chief. The police chief is responsible for enforcing the laws of Antigua as well as protecting its citizenry. What a gross failure indeed. Al the political leaders sit on their hands and do nothing.
We have reverted to trinidad....Jam aica ... where the criminals run the asylum...we need divine intervention to push the PM to do the right thing.

**Auddie** » 2013-03-03 10:24

awe done wid now!! no more peaceful little island paradise dem day's done!

**Topez** » 2013-03-03 09:04

I think if the people that know something say something to the police these crimes can be solve but everybody is staying mum. Let's bring our country back to when I was growing up where no one was living in fear and you didn't have to lock up your house to go to town. This is ridiculous now and pretty soon tourist are not going to come there more more.

Changing an island economy from Tax free jurisdiction was bound to have economic impacts as the trickle down effect was stemmed, that coupled with Introduction of VAT will cause borderline criminals to flip, it can't be reversed now, and will get worse as the the economy contracts

I am convinced that there is an element in Antigua an barbuda that wants to create unrest and fear with ulterior motives. What men won't do for power?

**ANTIGUAN WOMAN** » 2013-03-02 21:25

This sort of thing is a routine now like going to work.Why is it still making news? Not like the 5" 7/9 inches description,dar k in complexion wearing dark colour clothing,is helping to catch the criminals,actua lly isnt that 80% of the male population? The colour of the clothing is not relevant,its not stucked to your skin,it can and will be changed after the fact. I will forever say,we are reaping the fruits of a broken sick society,after this set is caught/killed/ tired or whatever,will it stop? NO.There are already some dangerous seeds and new shoots springing up each day,because the poison is still in the roots.

**reality check** » 2013-03-02 21:01

The criminals have declared on all of us, it time for us to fight back blood for blood.

**Fire people** » 2013-03-02 19:43

Antigua people, lets be smart here. Why do you think that the policeman them only react quickly to situations about weeds. They get the weeds them, take them home then sell them.

**Fed Up** » 2013-03-02 18:46

The bad guys hold up a man at gunpoint, beat him, rob him, take his vehicle, oh, and by the way, the cops get somebody for having 181 grams of weed. BIG ** DEAL !!! You idiots need to get real !!

**pearl** » 2013-03-02 16:10

Time to lock down thee country and send a message we living in fear errol cort wa u a dog

**Conscious** » 2013-03-02 14:15

Are Antiguans aware that there is a ring of thieves that preys on shoppers in major supermarkets? And that there have been incidents where they have lifted wallets from handbags and shopping carts and later returned them to the owners becuase they had no money? Are Antiguans aware that even though they are caught on camera, the management does nothing about it?

**parent** » 2013-03-02 14:07

Maybe it's time to pack up and leave this country permanently for the safety of my children
