To­ba­go po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the rob­bery of a British cou­ple in Ply­mouth on Wednes­day. It is the sec­ond such in­ci­dent to oc­cur on the is­land in just four days.

Mark Peth­er­ick 66 and his wife Rose­mary, 67, re­tirees, of Ducote Wells, Unit­ed King­dom. were at Arnos Vale beach, at around 4.30 pm when they were ap­proached by a man bran­dish­ing what ap­peared to be a firearm, wrapped in a ban­dana.

He grabbed Rose­mary by the neck and de­mand­ed their cell phones. The cou­ple hand­ed $101, US$60, a Canon cam­era and £106 ster­ling pounds to the as­sailant who es­caped on foot.

The cou­ple were guests at the Blue Wa­ters Inn Ho­tel in Spey­side but were ex­plor­ing the west­ern part of the is­land when they were at­tacked.

Sgt Wil­son of the Old Grange CID is con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.

This is the sec­ond at­tack on tourists in the Old Grange dis­trict in less than a week. Cana­di­ans Ian and Neena Mc Mullin were robbed and as­sault­ed while sun­bathing on Grafton Beach, Black Rock last Sat­ur­day. Two men were held for ques­tion­ing but were even­tu­al­ly re­leased.

Sec­re­tary for Tourism in the THA Na­dine Stew­art-Phillips con­demned the at­tacks and urged res­i­dents to jeal­ous­ly guard the is­land’s safe­ty and rep­u­ta­tion.
