Another suspect arrested in DPM robbery
Nearly three weeks after Deputy Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis was robbed at gun point in his home, police in Abaco yesterday arrested a suspect in connection with that armed robbery.
The suspect, a 27-year-old resident of Kemp Road, New Providence, was taken into custody around 7:25 a.m., police said.
According to police, the suspect was transported to New Providence and taken to the Central Detective Unit (CDU).
He is expected to be charged in connection with the matter. However, police did not say when.
Two men who allegedly took over $100,000 in jewelery in that robbery have already been charged.
Tyrone Knowles Jr., 25, of Black Point, Exuma and Yellow Elder Gardens, and Marc McCartney, 21, of Turnquest Avenue, are on remand at Her Majesty’s Prison.
Three masked gunmen robbed Davis on December 9 at his West Ridge home.
According to police, the gunman pulled into Davis' yard though the front gate.
They robbed his chauffeur and demanded that he take them into the house.
After searching several rooms, the men came to where Davis and his wife Anne Marie were. Police said the gunmen then robbed Davis, who was the acting prime minister at the time.
The chauffeur was gun-butted during the robbery. However, he only received minor bruises, police said.
None of Davis’ police aides was at his home at the time of the robbery.
Security at Davis’ residence has reportedly been upgraded.
