    WOW! With the earlier 11 guest rooms robbery at the Barcelo Resort, and now this one in police uniforms no less, this is likely to be a BIG hit to the tourism trade! Not good news, folks!

    Knock knock whose there.. The OIJ and Police open up!. … Not so funny when your robbed. So what does the OIJ say to do. Call the 911 number saying there’s police here now what? Wait for confirmation.. I never answer my door when I hear a knock. Anyone of my friends knows to call me first as I do the same for them. Police or not!

    I heard recently that there was some ‘police’ that tied up and robbed 4 persons in a home, after pretending to aprehend a cattle theif.

    Wow! That’s quite a haul!
    Couple of guns, phones and C-notes.
    I wonder if that covered the cost of their costumes?
