Armed men rob Savannah gas station
(CNS): Armed robbers struck again on Friday, this time holding up the Rubis gas station in Savannah at around 10pm. Two men entered the store, one of them carrying a gun. The armed man stood guard at the door while his partner in crime jumped the counter and took an undisclosed sum of cash from the register.
The men fled the gas station on foot towards the church on Homestead Crescent.
Both of them were about 6′ tall, and both wore black hoodies and white gloves. The man with the firearm was wearing blue pants and the man who stole the money was wearing blue and white pants.
It is understood that no shots were fired and no one was hurt during the robbery, one of eight robberies in the last month. No arrests have been made.
Anyone with any information or who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident is asked to call Bodden Town Police Station at 947-2220. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website.

Seems very odd that the busy restaurant behind this gas station never gets robbed but, yet there have been robberies on more than one occasion in the said area.
Out of curiosity, why is it that we are allowed to comment on this story about a crime, but not the recent stories about XXXX?
CNS: Because no one has been arrested, so you’re commenting on the crime, not the guilt or innocence or character of a defendant, which could theoretically influence the outcome of a trial. These are not our rules, but the courts’, but we’re particularly careful when the person arrested is a public figure.
But we could comment on stories like this?
XXXXX
I’m genuinely confused.
It just seems really inconsistent.
No need to post or reply but if it were the Premier saying the Leader of the Opposition was “ineffective” I guess we would be able to comment as Wayne is not currently charged or under any investigations that we are aware of.
CNS: Yes, if that was the situation, you could comment on that.
But if this really is the Courts position then we will likely never be able to comment on any story involving McKeeva as he has constantly been embroiled in various untoward matters…
CNS: The court’s position is that people cannot express an opinion on a court matter that might have an impact on the outcome, i.e. it is sub judice. Not being a lawyer, I tend to err on the side of caution because we could end up being charged with contempt of court if I mess up.
I could have left the comments open but I would then have had to be extremely vigilant about what I could publish and it’s likely that I would have had to delete most of them because I know that people are dying to comment about this. Then I would have had to deal with a whole bunch of enquiries as to why I hadn’t posted them. I considered allowing people to comment about Wayne’s decisions, but they would have inevitably been entwined with the alleged crime.
Not all the matters that McKeeva has been involved in have been court matters, so that’s why you could comment on them. After a verdict, a plea or dismissal has been reached, the comments will be open.
By the way, if you are from the US or watch US TV, this probably all seems very strange. The rules are very different there.
The irony, of course, is that McKeeva is a well known entity here. People either love him or hate him and the latter group is well aware of his past run-ins with the courts. Nothing written in the comment section of CNS is likely to sway public opinion or the mindset of a potential jury when it comes to McKeeva. The public verdict has been known for more than a decade.
I am not sure what part of this equation is not being understood so I will try and explain it.
If someone is committing a crime with a firearm no rational minded human being is going to intervene with a tazer.
If you can comprehend that then you can understand why this sort of crime will continue undeterred.
It doesn’t matter what gun laws you put in place. Criminals will always get access to them.
Take care
I don’t understand what your point is or if there is one for that matter. Are you implying that we shouldn’t have gun laws at all or that we need to improve education and socioeconomic factors to discourage crime in the first place? You surely can’t be implying that armed robbery arent committed in places with lax gun laws. You realize that gun laws is a broad term that aims to achieve multiple goals from different angles right? Are you sure that you actually know what the equation even is?
There’s more CCTV cameras in that area than anywhere here except Camana Bay.
Idiots.
Wow … another day, another robbery. Remember the good old days when so many of you were marching to stop equal rights for all? So where is this big lot of you now? Time to pray like never before. You finally got the valid reason to ‘petition heaven ‘. So why are you dead silent? Anyone there? No… thought so.
Crime is one thing, but have you used a plastic straw recently?
What’s the matter twiglet? You run out of bud light? Do try to get a grip.
Homophobia is something completely different alright.
Imagine being triggered by a beer.
Snowflake.
Just what is our highly paid and staffed police department doing about all this crime?
Zzzzzzzzzz,,,
assisting
They fled on foot but no one thought about following them by car while calling the police?
