A party of six cruisers, accompanied by a Hummingbird Resort security guard, was robbed by multiple masked attackers at gunpoint and machete.
Reports are that on the evening of March 3, 2016, the group of cruisers were returning from dinner, on the Hummingbird Resort/Still dock at Soufriere, when the incident occurred.
According to Caribbean Safety and Security Net, which collects and disseminates “accurate information” relating to crimes against yachts, the security guard was knocked down.
The robbers demanded money and were given wallets.
One woman’s purse was cut off her shoulder with the machete and her husband was struck on the head with the blunt side of the machete. A gun was also aimed at the couple.
When the group came into the dock originally, they declined the dinghy watching “service” of some teenagers. The teens were quite unhappy about it and said they would be back.
It is not known if a report was made to authorities by the Hummingbird staff.
