From the SUNDAY GUARDIAN
Store workers and street vendors took matters into their own hands yesterday (Saturday) when they pursued and beat two Jamaican nationals who robbed Detour Gents Store in San Fernando. The suspects, 34 and 37, who stayed in Arima, were arrested along with a 40-year-old Princes Town Special Reserved Police officer who was held after part of the loot was allegedly found in his car.
According to reports, the suspects entered the store at lower High Street around 3 pm where one of them asked Attieh to convert US$1,200 into TT currency. Workers said while the transaction was taking place, the other suspect pretended he was browsing though some clothing.
