Police have confirmed that a pastor was robbed outside his church at gunpoint. The incident reportedly took place at the Born Again Deliverance United Christian Fellowship Center on August 6 on the East West Highway around 10:00am.
The pastor told police that a man armed, with an M-16 assault. rifle robbed him of several hundred dollars.
Assistant Superintendent Clayton Fernander said that no one has been arrested regarding the case.
Recently, thugs have carried out a series of hold-ups while armed with high-powered weapons. The men who robbed the FirstCaribbean International Bank at Sandyport last month were armed with AK-47 assault rifles. Police recovered an AK-47 assault rifle when suspects abandoned their car during a high-speed chase. The men were suspects in the murder of Daniachew Miller and the armed robbery of his relative at a block party on Abundant Life Road.
