Charlestown residents fed up with banditry
The storage bond that was constantly attacked.
Fed up with bandits and robbery in the Charlestown area, residents are calling on the police to react promptly and seriously.
Their reaction was spurred by another attack on a storage bond on Broad Street, Charlestown which occurred Thursday night.
“Only when you have money in this country then you can get satisfaction. If someone had shot and killed one of the bandits you would see how quick they would have come to lock up somebody,” one irate resident said.
A report was made by residents to the Ruimveldt Police Station which is less than three minutes away, however, police took more than 30 minutes to arrive at the scene after the thieves fled the scene.
“Imagine people know who the robbers are, and when reports are made to the police, the same men keep attacking the business bond over and over. Why must people have regards for any police?” residents questioned.
It was explained that the brazen act of the thieves combined with inaction by police will cause residents to take the law into their own hands.
“We need the police to be more serious about reports that are lodged at the Ruimveldt Police Station.”
