An elderly couple is lamenting the current crime situation. Five young men allegedly attacked Raju Auguste and his wife Olive Auguste at their shop in La Clery. 90 year old Auguste says two young men came in, asking to purchase soft drinks. He says at that point, three other young men sprung out and entered the shop armed with cutlasses.
One of the young men jumped over the counter and slashed Auguste on his arm. The elderly man says his wife started shouting and grabbed a cutlass. One of the young men tried to chop him again but the cutlass fell out of his hand and caused him and his accomplices to flee the scene. Auguste is back home but the incident has left the couple shaken. Auguste says after 40 years of running his shop, it has become extremely dangerous to do so.
