Activist...not MP...

[Rudi]

OK my bad(it was a joke). I always thought he was an 'active'MP. I am assuming this particular activist is of the orange variety.

[Reggaedoc]

Mmm. I was a bit suspicious about that Swiss Store incident. I still think it is an insurance job by the owners. Let us see how this pans out. I am not ready to change my mind. Sorry.

[Bricktop]

I know you were joking...don't know what colour the activist bows to...but should be interesting none the less...

[Bricktop]

Maybe...Swiss Stores has seen better days...think they will be closing their Mall Plaza location soon...

Political activist jewelry store robbery12:59 pm, Wed April 17, 2013

The Police say a well-known political activist could be behind a highly organised group of persons who organised last week's multi-million dollar robbery at the Swiss Stores – a jewelry store in the Corporate Area..

During last week’s robbery, a gunman went to the store and stole 16 Rolex watches.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Senior Superintendent Cornwall "Bigga" Ford, revealed that the Flying Squad Unit has recovered 13 watches.

Investigations also led to several other items, including US$150 thousand and over J$500 thousand .

“We have also found some Movado wrist watches, one illegal gun, two legal guns over 500 rounds of assorted ammunition and cash."

Ford said the five suspects in custody will be charged after they are questioned in the presence of their attorneys.

“When charges are preferred and the names of the suspects released – I think some people will be shocked,” he said.

The Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Task Force will be pursuing the seizure of the assets.
