The woman was on her way to the property that I live on to visit her friend who lives here. She left her resort on the beach at around 7:30PM. From what I understand, the robber threatened rape but never attempted it. He did, however, cut off an article of her clothing and kept it.
The woman was very shook up from this traumatic event and, from what I understand, left the island a day or two ago...vowing to never return.
Someone recently started a thread on TA about riding in taxi's around Negril. In the post she recommended that one never get into a taxi that doesn't have at least one other person in it. I think I'd disregard her advice!!
FWIW: I was driving down the West End road this past Tuesday morning at about 7:30. As I passed Ocean Edge Lane...there were four or five Army type jeeps and three or four Police vehicles parked in the lane. Something BIG was going down.
Also, my friend who owns a local business told me that the police stopped in a couple of nights to tell him to shut down before 11 or 12PM. He complied for a few nights...but things seem to back to normal now!!!
