Man Stabbed as Thieves Make Off With Jesus Pendant Chain and Cash

Police are investigating a violent robbery in Villa that left a man injured and robbed of his valuables.

The incident occurred around 8:00 p.m. on Friday, August 15, when the victim was walking along a by-road. According to reports, two young men approached him from behind and grabbed a bag he was carrying. During the struggle, the man sustained a stab wound to his right shoulder.

Among the items stolen was a gold chain featuring a Jesus pendant, along with $600 in cash. The assailants fled the scene through a nearby by-road, and a search for suspects in the area was unsuccessful.

The victim was issued a police medical form and advised to seek medical attention. Police confirmed that several individuals have been interviewed, but no useful information has been obtained, and investigations are ongoing.

    It’s getting to the point where you can’t even wear a chain outside.

    And what does having a gun solve? It will only lead to more gun violence and legal actions taken against you. If you feel the need to have a gun think about the other people that may also back up this claim and make Antigua a war zone.

    Can’t walk the road in peace. Can’t live in peace. Can’t do nothing in peace. What a unsafe country to live in and the authorities are not doing nothing
