Reported Aggravated Robbery of Hotel Employee at Coco Reef Resort
Wed, 2019-12-18
Around 9:50pm Tuesday, December 17th a reported aggravated robbery occurred at the Coco Reef Resort in Paget.
It appears that a 24 year old male front desk clerk was sitting in the back office when a male intruder entered the area and started to search desk drawers.
A struggle ensued and the intruder made good his escape with the 24 year old man’s smartphone and wallet.
During the struggle, the intruder brandished a knife and cut the male hotel employee’s wrist.
The 24 year old was transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment of the injury and later discharged.
The smartphone was later recovered and the scene has been processed by the relevant police personnel.
The suspect is described as a brown complexioned male, approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall of solid build, weighing around 300 pounds. He was wearing a black Nolan helmet, grey hooded top and dark coloured long pants.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the Criminal Investigation Department on 247-1744 or the independent and anonymous Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477 at the earliest opportunity.
