Obeah after they beat the bandit?

"Obeah in Dow Village South Oropouche as relatives of an alleged bandit, who was beaten fights back.
The victim was beaten in some bushes after he was allegedly caught trying to flee a house he and others had moments earlier allegedly broken into last week.
But relatives weren't having any of what they saw in the cell phone video.
Uncutt News Media understands that a female relative of the victim showed out outside the house the day after the incident and "cuss out" a male occupant.
She returned last night with approximately two dozen other people, all dressed in black, lighting black candles, and a black goat.
They also had gas which they reportedly poured on the roadway, according to a resident, and made the goat walk through the fire but was unharmed as they chanted songs and rang bells.
They subsequently left the area."

Carjacking - Barataria last night.

There was one in Curepe last week when the lady was waiting for her automatic gate to open.

The "good" thing about this video is that none of the ladies was kidnapped or harmed and only the car was taken.

People need to develop their observational skills. That car went down and came back and they did not see.

travel advisory gonna get updated soon

Yes they should send out an advisory that the situation is increasing and they should also emphasize on the hygienic hazard due to mass littering and to be extra cautious when traveling with little children. The blasted baby dumping, murder and death due to irresponsibility just shows the type of sick and sadistic individuals we have roaming in this country.

T&T continues to be an embarrassment.

maybe they know something we don't.

if somebody wanted to recreate 1990, it could be much worse now. The level of weaponry and hardware it have around the country, fake police uniform, whatsapp "news", grenades, the size and scope of the gangs, foreign people coming from colombia, venezuela, syria ... this place could turn real chaotic real fast if somebody decide to direct it that way.

I does go Gulf City sometimes on a weekend and it does have so much people crowd there, my spider senses tell me this ent a safe place to be with the number of illegal assault rifles around.. easy easy three man could seal the exits and then what we would do, where we would go, we might dead waiting for miniso. I prefer to stay home where it is safe i not paranoid, the advisory say it could happen

Charoltte St. robbery today. These ##$$^^**(&^%%$ animals and cockroaches have no mothers or sisters.

Who would walk around with over $170k in cash?Well they spot she rel easy from the bank.. Easy target. Why not wire transfer money ?

"Woman vows not to return to T&T after brutal robbery in PoS
... Shoppers, vendors, businesses left uneas"

"His comments came on the heels of Friday’s robbery of 62-year-old Maralyn Callender-Morrison—the holder of dual citizenship for T&T and America—who was relieved of $170,000 in cash on Queen Janelle Commissiong Street after being beaten by the bandits.

The video of Callender-Morrison being attacked by the robbers went viral and created outrage among the public.

Still visibly shaken yesterday when the Sunday Guardian visited her at a relative’s home in Arima, Callender-Morrison said she was followed by a gang of men from a bank on Independence Square after withdrawing $65,000 in cash to repair her home in Toco.

She also had US$15,000 in cash, two chequebooks, bank cards, a driver’s licence, a cell phone valued at US$1,000 and a passport in her handbag."

ppl in the daily paid section does have different level of problems.

plenty ppl money does done as soon as it come in, so talking about bank account is not a priority. i know ppl who get paid daily and gamble and drink it away that same evening and by the next day they broke

i know some ppl wife does hide money away so the husband doh take it to drink and gamble with it. if the wife ask for utility bill and authorization letter to open bank account and the husband find out she keeping an account on the side, is a a scene. if the wife want money, she have to hide away cash somewhere.

the banks not helping by asking for so much documentation and making the process ridiculous.

when I open an account way back when, I went in person the bank. The bank said I had to make online appointment to open an account and they wouldn't make an appointment in person (!), it had to be done online. There is no reasonable explanation to do that and it needlessly forks up people who knows nothing about computer and have no support mechanism.

i really don't understand why we still don't have a central-bank mandated, commercial bank available 'basic' account option with less KYC regulations. They could put a cap on the maximum balance or a cap or the monthly transfers or something to balance it out, but just make an option available to people right on the bottom of the ladder.

[redmanjp]

Ole ppl need assistance with online banking.

Simply having a back account and a ATM card would eliminate the need to carry around huge amounts of cash. ATMs around for decades here. I didn't know about the requirement to open an account online though. Was that during covid or is that still the case?

But contractors and their workers aren't old ppl. They just stubborn and will learn the hard way.
