A woman was robbed by three armed and masked men on April 11.
On April 6 an armed and masked man held up a bar in Clay Ghaut, Nevis, demanded money and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. In broad daylight on April 5, three armed and masked men robbed an elderly Brazziers resident in Nevis of an undisclosed sum of money. Shots were fired and the victim was treated at Nevis' Alexandra Hospital and discharged.
