Nikki Crosby robbed, two men arrested

Crosby was among a group of shoppers who were held up and robbed at gunpoint at Artie’s Meats, Four Road, Diego Martin, shortly after midday. Reports are at about 2.30 pm, Crosby was at the shop when two men with guns approached shoppers and announced a hold-up. The robbers stole cellular phones, jewelry and other personal items, she said.

Saying she felt traumatised and violated after the incident, Crosby recounted the ordeal.

“Thank God for life. Gerry (her husband) and I were shopping at Artie’s and gunmen ran in and put everyone on the floor,” she said.

Crosby said the men then robbed her and the other shoppers.

“They feel me and another woman up,” she said. The actress said Western Division and Four Roads Police chased the men after they left the shop. They were later caught in the La Puerta area with most of the stolen items. A gun was also seized.

Crosby said she was grateful for the quick action by police.

“They gave chase and the Western Task Force got involved. They were all over the La Puerta area looking for them. So, I really want to give them kudos because in about a half an hour they got the guys.” Crosby said one can never really prepare for a robbery.

“We always imagined what would happen if you ever experienced this and I went dumb for a moment,” she said.
