The police are investigating a robbery in Bellevue, St Kitts and Nevis late in the evening on November 3rd, 2023.

The incident was reported to have transpired between 11:30 PM and 12 AM, leaving residents on edge and authorities on high alert.

The reports that were issued indicate that the victim was none other than a bus driver coming from Basseterre, who fell prey to a cunning duo masquerading as innocent passengers.

It has been reported that the driver pulled over near the Black Rocks area to allow the individuals to detrain from the bus, but the situation turned sinister.

In a horrifying twist, the male and female criminals launched an aggressive assault on the passengers and forcibly ejected the driver from his vehicle before making a swift getaway.

The stolen bus was eventually discovered, abandoned and in a state of immiscible, on a lonely dirt road in the Estridge vicinity.

The scene was promptly attended to by the seasoned professionals of the Crime Scene Unit from the esteemed Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF), who meticulously gathered crucial evidence in their pursuit of justice.

As the investigation unfolds, the public can expect regular updates from the authorities, ensuring transparency and maintaining trust within the community.

Authorities are urging anyone with tangible information to come forward, not only about the robbery incident but also about any other criminal activities, to come forward and assist in seeking justice.

This horrific event serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and community cooperation in the face of such audacious criminal acts.

The unity of the St Kitts community has promised to stand together against such inhuman acts in the future.

Additionally, the people of St Kitts are advised to be vigilant whenever they travel, and the police officials also urged the citizens to look out for criminal activities around them.
