Robb St stores threatened by violent, mentally ill vagrant

The manager of a city store is seeking to be heard, after his reports about a “mentally ill” vagrant who continually throws objects into the store, placing staff and customers in danger, went unheard by the police.

Kirk Collete, the manager of NP Electronics International, located on Robb Street, told Stabroek News that a vagrant threw a glass bottle into his store yesterday, causing fear in his staff members. He noted that similar incidents have been occurring throughout the month, all of which have been initiated by the same vagrant.

One memorable incident, Collete related, was when a child was almost hit by shards of glass from a bottle which the vagrant had thrown into the store and another, when a customer was almost hit by a brick which was also thrown into the store.
