ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI– Police are investigating a robbery of a restaurant patron near a food van in Baughers Bay on Sunday November 11, 2012.

The male victim reported that around 3 A.M. he was playing dominoes with other persons near a food van in Baughers Bay when a lone masked man dressed in all black got out of a dark coloured vehicle, which at the time was parked between Bat Cave and Brewley's Food Van, ran up to those around the domino table and pointed a gun at his chest. The masked man grabbed a gold pendant attached to a chain around his neck and burst the pendant from the chain, then ran back into the vehicle and sped away from the scene.

The pendant, valued at $700, is 5" wide and circular in shape with the name 'Al' written at the top and 'Sex Freak' at the bottom with an image of a male and female.

Police are encouraging persons who may have witnessed and can identify the individual who perpetrated this act to give this information or the vehicle he was in to any one of the officers in the Criminal Investigation Department through its three-digit access number 311. This information, even if it is just a name, could greatly help in pointing police in the right direction. All information will be held in confidence.

Persons are also encouraged to use the untraceable, anonymous Crimestoppers Miami hotline number 800-(TIPS) or 800-8477. No names or numbers are requested and only the information provided is passed on to local police detectives.
