Down­town Own­ers and Mer­chants As­so­ci­a­tion pres­i­dent Gre­go­ry Aboud says the man who brave­ly chased af­ter a thief in down­town Port-of-Spain and made a cit­i­zen’s ar­rest is an ex­am­ple of what stand-your-ground should be.

But while he is prais­ing the man, iden­ti­fied on­ly as Josi­ah, for re­fus­ing to be a vic­tim of crime, Aboud is al­so call­ing on the Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er and Port-of-Spain May­or to do more to bring an end to snatch and grab crimes in the cap­i­tal city.
