The Police are stretched thin as they grapple with the alarming rate of armed robberies in the country. Before one attack can be fully investigated another robbery occurs putting the Police under severe pressure. The lack of professional expertise, adequate forensic capabilities and manpower in the force, puts it in dire straits. The latest violent robberies have exposed the inability of the Police to make arrests. Friday’s attack on a businessman, where the gunmen abandoned the getaway car and vanished is a typical example. Police, however has suspected the driver of the car as being part of the gang, since his story did not add up, he is currently in custody. Just today at Kaneville, 3 persons, among them a policeman were robbed and one victim injured after the robbers opened fire. Almost half a million dollars were stolen.
