Philipsburg:--- During the weekend, police officers were busy handling different cases. On Saturday, a man identified as E.C from Haiti told police officers that his neighbor by the name "Colo" used a pistol to rob him of his cellular phone. Police assisted the victim by showing him a photo map and he recognized the culprit. It turned out the suspect is a man known by the police as E.P.K. The police are currently looking for the suspect.

On Saturday, another man identified as F.L reported to the detectives that unknown persons took his Yamaha scooter; color grey, number plate MF- 0246 between 10:00pm and 9:00am on Wellington Road.
Also on Saturday, a lady identified with initial A.R told detectives that while she was sitting on the steps of candy shop by Bobby's Marina an unknown person came to her and put a handgun to her head and took her laptop. The description of the culprit: 5.4 ft tall, dark complexion, wearing a yellow T-shirt, dark pants and a stripe baseball cap. He took the laptop and ran in the direction of Backstreet.
In an unrelated case also on Saturday, two masked men robbed the Robbie's Lottery on Union Farm Road. They demanded cash from the worker and managed to loot $405 before escaping on foot. While the China Store on Wellington Road was also robbed on Saturday, police said a masked man armed with a shotgun entered the store and demanded money. He escaped with $200.
The owner of Suns Nail on the Welfare road told detectives that unknown persons most probably used a false key to open the store after closing time to enter the store and take $ 834 which was in the closet. This most likely happened between 7:30pm and 10:00pm.
Also a man identified as I.D.Z.R filed a complaint by the Detectives Department that around 4:00am on Saturday he heard his dogs barking. When he looked through his window, he saw that someone was in his car which was parked on Strawberry Road. The man said he ran outside to catch the burglar red-handed. A fight started and he managed to hold the thief. The thief started to cry and he felt pity for him, but the moment he eased off him, the thief took off.
In another unrelated case, on Friday a mother took her 15 year old daughter and filed an ill-treatment complaint against a boy identified with initials R.J.H 16 years old. Apparently, the boy came to their house and almost touched her daughter's breast. She pushed him and a fight started. The boy took a broken beer bottle and cut the girl with it. The girl sustained a deep cut on the left side of her face, a cut on her upper leg and a deep cut on her back. This incident happened last week Tuesday.
