Downtown store victim of daylight robbery
Just as the band tuned up and the stage was being prepared for yesterday’s presentation of the government’s “Downtown Comeback” campaign, two robbers demonstrated their own plan for enrichment in the business district. Shortly after two Wednesday afternoon the pair entered the Rags and Reps Boutique on Prince Street, pointed a gun at the proprietor and walked away with two hundred dollars in cash and seven hundred in jewelry and other items. Store manager Pat Flowers and friend Hannah Waithe told police that their assailants were of dark complexion and wore masks. No arrests have yet been made.
