Robbery in Bodden Town Last Night, Thursday, 30 June

UPDATE: As a clarification to the below, the vessel itself was discovered by JMU and AOU officers.  However, a search of the area did not recover any sign of persons in the water.

Just before 9:30PM last night, Thursday, 29 June, a woman was robbed and assaulted as she arrived at the front door of her apartment on Cumber Avenue in Bodden Town.  A man with a stocking over his face emerged from near the stairwell armed with a knife. The victim struggled with her attacker who used the knife to sever the cords of the backpack and departed to the rear of the property, direction of travel unknown.

During the course of the struggle, which lasted several minutes, the woman screamed repeatedly, but no one in the area came to her assistance, although 9-1-1 calls were made.

The woman was treated and later released from the hospital.

The culprit is described as follows:

About 5’5” tall, of slim build, dark brown skinned complexion, a longish face with brown-coloured hair, who appeared to be in his early 30’s.
