Another resident has fallen victim to robbery at gun point.

“He take it everything. He taking my part. We have a something in the pocket, maybe 4000 and something in the pocket. I’m behind the pack, may have a 1000 and something. He take it. Everything. My ID. My what ID? My what ID? Antigua, My what ID. Santo Domingo. My medical benefit. The Social Security having something in the pocket. Take it. Everything” Caesar said.
The construction worker who has lived in Antigua and Barbuda for almost 17 years says one of the men held a fishing gun while the other pointed a hand gun at him, demanding that he give up his money.

He tells Observer he was walking home at around 1am when it happened.
He went on to say, “Me go by the casino. They pass by the bar, the Spanish bar and I stay here and I drink something. As soon as I go home. When let me go by home and turn by the corner and three people tell stop for me, this, for us and take my money. Everything. Take it”
