Stephon Jackson
Police have apprehended and charged 27-year-old Stephon Jackson from Clare Hall in connection with a robbery that took place on High Street.
It is alleged that Jackson, along with other accomplices, stole a vehicle, mobile phones, and other valuable items from two individuals on September 22.
Following the incident, a 17-year-old of Clare Hall was arrested by the police and subsequently charged for the offence. Jackson is expected to appear before the court sometime during the week.
Meanwhile, a third suspect allegedly involved in the said incident surrendered himself to the police on Tuesday. Further investigations are ongoing into the matter.
I my sight there should only be one punishment for crime in Antigua 🇦🇬 death by way of hanging day after you’re sentence and I mean any crime , we would have a safe island and no prison jus a holding facility.
That would be ideal honestly but sadly human rights won’t have it
Even so,that is somebody’s child you can’t hang them for theft if it was your child you would be saying something different
Hmm,27 years.All different ages doing useless crime robbery is like a trend these days everyone scared of a hard days work
Look at his flipping face. Don’t know why they don’t go get hard work to do
It’s sad to see young men wasting their future like this. At 17 especially, that’s just a child. We need more programs to guide them before they end up in crime.
Glad the third suspect turned himself in. Shows at least a little conscience. Let’s hope the courts deal with this matter properly.
We need to know where the Ozee they had brandishing is. Them good for nothing
Every week it’s the same story robberies, violence, stolen cars. When will enough be enough? The government and the police need to get tougher on crime.
Justice must be served!
Good job to the officers for catching them so quickly. Hopefully, justice will be served and this will be a warning to others
When Iwas a child, my cousin, who I believe was driven by poverty, was a bad man who allegedly robbed people and who was even accused of even more heinous crimes. He managed to elude capture for quite some time but eventually the police sent him to meet his maker. It was quite a sad situation and had quite the impact on my grandmother since he had been her favorite nephew. It’s funny how I never felt unsafe because of his alleged crimes. The only thing that scared me back then was pedophiles. This current level of crime is so much more unsettling though. Maybe it’s because, as an adult, I am now more aware of what’s going on, crime is so much more prolific and the media coverage is ever constant. While poverty in my humble opinion, is a major factor in criminality, some offenders just want to take the easy way out. They don’t want to put forth the necessary effort to change their situation. Perhaps the only solution for these types of individuals is three hots and a cot in His Majesty’s prison. At any rate, I just want a peaceful and safe Antigua.
Crime in this country is getting out of hand. Young people throwing away their lives for quick money. Glad to see the police acting swiftly, but we need more prevention, not just arrests.
