EVENT: Assault
Stolen Items: Wallets
SECURED: N/A
DETAILS: On the evening of March 3, 2016, returning from dinner out, on the Hummingbird Resort/Still dock at Soufriere, St. Lucia, a party of 6 cruisers, accompanied by the Hummingbird security guard, were robbed by multiple masked attackers at gunpoint and machete.

The security guard was knocked down. The robbers demanded money and were given wallets. One woman’s purse was cut off her shoulder with the machete. Her husband was struck on the head with the blunt side of the machete. A gun was aimed at them.

When the group came into the dock originally, they declined the dinghy watching “service” of some teenagers.

The teens were quite unhappy about it and said they would be back. It is not known if a report was made to authorities by the Hummingbird staff.
