After a spate of robberies in Lamaha Springs, residents yesterday removed and burned an ‘illegal’ bridge between their community and ‘C’ Field, Sophia.
The move was described as a preventative and crime reducing measure in the community.
Chairman of the United Cooperative Housing Society, retired Brigadier George Lewis, said that robberies of homes and persons are a regular occurrence in the community. In the last week, he said, at least 10 robberies have occurred. This represents a drastic spike over the previous months when there was an average of two robberies of homes per month.
