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.
