Another vendor robbed at gunpoint near market

Yet another vendor has been held up at the Queen Square Market. William Garcia told police he was taking pineapples out of his pickup truck on Monday night when a man pointed a handgun at his face and robbed him of nine dollars. Police say they are doing what they can to stop the recent spate of robberies occurring in the area. On Tuesday, Santos Fermin was at her stand when she was robbed of one hundred and fifty dollars, while in September meat pie vendor Efrain Heraso was shot in the face in the same area during an attempted robbery. Three men were arrested for that crime with the assistance of the public.
