Quick action by police has resulted in the arrest of 5 men suspected of having committed a robbery. Ricardo Andres Jacob, a Salvadoran food vendor reported to police that he and his cousin Ricardo Antonio Jacob were selling ice cream in Ladyville at around 4:10p.m. on Friday, when they were approached by 5 men. One of the men pulled out what appeared to be a handgun and held it at Antonio's side and took away a waist bag containing an undetermined amount of money. The men then held the gun at Andres, robbed him of his cell phone and then ran off into the nearby bushes. Police launched a search in the surrounding area and later intercepted a Ladyville bus traveling towards Lord's Bank. They searched 5 suspicious characters and the area around them and came up with a point 22 double barrel derringer pistol with 2 live rounds stuffed in the seat. All five were arrested and charged with 2 counts of robbery and possession of un-licensed firearm and ammunition.
