One day after a promise to take back the city from criminal elements, a cruise ship visitor was allegedly robbed in the city by two young men. The woman said aboard the cruise ship there was talk of Castries having a reputation for being dangerous. The woman said she had hoped that the talk was inaccurate but says after having her few inexpensive things stolen and suffering a bruise to her arm she has changed her mind. She says luckily the thieves got nothing of great value, just her sunglasses, an umbrella and an old camera. An eyewitness says the two attackers were young and got very angry and threatened him when he called out to them after the sped past him and grabbed the lady’s bag. He scared them off by pretending to grab for weapon in his pocket.
