St. Kitts Nevis: An agent with U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is presently in Nevis in relation to the armed robbery of a Judge of the United States highest court, according to a report in The St. Kitts Nevis Observer.
A masked intruder wielding a machete robbed a sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice at his Golden Rock vacation home on Thursday night, carting off about US$1200 in his escape, the Observer said.
The U.S. Federal Agent arrived in Nevis on Friday, however it was not confirmed if he is observing the local law enforcement’s handling of the case or working in conjunction with Nevis police. Nevis police had been notified of the Judge’s presence on the island, as was the custom, however it is unclear if any police officers were assigned as a shadow detail, the Observer stated.
The Observer spoke with Assistant Commissioner of Police Robert Liburd who said police are “vigorously” investigating the matter. He informed that no suspects were in custody as of Saturday morning.
The Judge is a regular vacationer to the island and was traveling with his wife and several friends on this sojourn.
