Few­er res­i­dents are us­ing Palmiste Park for ex­er­cise fol­low­ing two rob­beries this week, prompt­ing calls for in­creased po­lice pa­trols, se­cu­ri­ty cam­eras, and park war­dens.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia, Har­ry Ra­goo­nanan, chair­man of the Palmiste Park De­vel­op­ment Com­mit­tee, re­count­ed the lat­est in­ci­dent.

“Yes­ter­day, we were here with some col­lege stu­dents vis­it­ing the co­coa es­tate, and a la­dy ran back to us say­ing a man tried to rob her. He asked for all the gold she had. She raised her hands and said, ‘I have no gold, all I have is Je­sus,’ and he said, ‘Well, that saved you.’ I im­me­di­ate­ly called the po­lice,” Ra­goo­nanan said.
