Philipsburg:--- Robbery suspect 18 year old St. Lucian born K.I who is seen laughing in this photograph would spend the next eight days behind bars as police continue to investigate the daring daylight robbery. Chief Public Prosecutor Taco Stein confirmed that the young man’s time has been extended.
Stein said they have released the two suspects who were arrested in a boat trying to leave St. Maarten with four persons on board the boat. Stein said for now they do not believe the two persons that were arrested on Monday had anything to do with Saturday’s robbery. Asked if any of the five suspects between Saturday to Monday has been released or if any of them were turned over to immigration Stein said he does not think so because he did not order the release of any of the suspects.
