On May 27, 2005, Customs House was rocked by a $10.3M robbery. Two men armed with guns invaded the Main Street office just after closing hour, grabbed a bag of cash and fled.
On Wednesday, just two months shy of three years, the police case collapsed spectacularly in court. The police could not contact their star witness. The last time that evidence had been taken in the case had been 13 months ago. Since then, there had been a series of postponements, a truly shocking state of affairs and one that pervades many cases in the lower and high courts.
