According to reports reaching our newsroom, the teen was robbed of a $4000.00 ‘Gucci’ gold chain, which was allegedly snatched by a masked individual.
Our newsroom was told that the youth attended the Christmas in the City Basketball Competition on Wickham’s Cay 1 and then visited a nearby business place where he caught up with other friends as well as a relative.
According to reports, while others left, the teen and his relative remained on the frontage of the business place when a masked man approached them and grabbed the victim’s gold chain and ran off.
Persons who witnessed the robbery reportedly gave chase but the masked man ran off towards the Christmas in the City event and melted into the crowd.
Police are said to be investigating.

Exactly my point.....He shouldve taken his $4000 and did smg meaningful instead of impressing ppl...Thas the young ppl problem...they have money to do all kinda nonsense but when money really needed to do the necessary stuff, they bawling Govt aint giving them nothing...Boy Try Go home and help ur mother wash the dishes for heavens sake
Looks cheap especially on adult men no matter the price.
That must be a typo $4,000 and a teen is wearing it?
Style fades; develop your mind and character.
Businesses be on the lookout for someone trying to melt it and others be on the look out for someone trying to sell it.
Nature’s Little Secret is infested with jealousy. How can you all be so angry by someone lifestyle? Wow! The teenager has a chain and so WHAT?! No one knows anything about this individual but you all are quick to judge. The funny thing is if it was a Caucasian teenager it would not have been a problem. The naysayers would say the kid family is RICH. Not because you can not afford it you will speak and type rubbish. If my child is well mannered and is superb with his/her education I will give him the WORLD. Once I have he/she has. It could have been a plain white shirt for $6000.00. It’s my child! If many parents instill that great work pays off they won’t flipping steal.
No you all rather give your side man/woman that amount of money to buy boat parts, etc instead of your own flesh and blood.
You all are sickening in this territory. Thank you Heavenly Father I never judged or watch faces. When I strut the roads of Tortola I could careless what people think of me. To the younger generation do right and your hard work will pay off.
1 How do we not know the chain wasn't purchased years ago hence the appreciated Gold value
2 so what if the teen had a chain of value the point is the robbetrr should have never occurred.
3 Our issue is we have to much hate in this place with people feeling that those who have shouldn't no matter how hard they've worked
Don't be surprised if people want what you have if it helps them put food on the table.
Not saying it's right, just saying what's going on.
the issue here is that people are getting robbed, not how the person who was robbed got the item they were robbed for. i for one can not believe how far down this little island has slipped in the last 10 years. All these so called god fearing folks looking out for nobody but their own little group. We have serious crime here these days and all i ever hear is oh them island folks or oh, the police cant do the job!.... How about WE get involved? Report when you see something... these crooks and murderers have assistance! People know who did the crimes but don't get involved. WE are just as responsible for keeping our piece of paradise safe and WE have failed miserably!
