And, switching back now to crime news a warehouse supervisor from Amara avenue was left visibly shaken on Friday night after he was held at gunpoint by two men, one hispanic and one of a dark complexion.
They robbed him of his cellphone before firing four shots into the air and making their escape toward Grace Primary school.
A quick response from police meant recovery of the assault weapon and a speedy arrest for both 27 year old Troy Augustus and 22 year old Orlin Garcia. Here's what the cops had to say about it earlier today.
