A 16-year-old Potters youth is in police custody in connection with ongoing investigations into a report of aggravated robbery.
On Monday, a woman from Newgate Street reported to the police that she and her friends were robbed of their money and mobile phones by a group of young men armed with cutlasses and knives.
Officers attached to the Criminal Investigations Department responded to the report and apprehended the young man on Tanner Street with certain items suspected of being stolen.
The incident occurred around 1:50 am on Newgate Street. Further investigations are ongoing.
A bunch of young men armed with cutlasses and knives roaming the streets of St John’s after midnight? Isn’t there supposed to be a curfew in place for teenagers after 10 pm or something like that?
People need fo be careful thede days. The s e men and evil doers are a fabric of lazy people…they need to find real.work to do.
That he pays like an adult since he is committing serious crimes.
Somebody tell me what is wrong with them young people.
So what happen to children under 18 not being on the streets after 10.
The increase in crime in Antigua is starting to become a serious problem that must be dealt with professionally. Enough dilettantism!
these young people nowadays smh its like its getting worse like they just trying to see who can be the baddest smh or who can commit the most crime is like the forget about books school everything
For some reason these Potters young men are always in some things. As someone from Potters, I see them everyday on the street corner trying to live up on begging and drugs. So many incentives the government provides for them yet they want fast money and easy life.
HAVE ANOTHER WORTHLESS MEETING WITH THE GANGS…..
