Three schools robbed at gunpoint

Read storyThree schools were robbed at gunpoint in the space of five hours yesterday.

All three incidents involved a man of about six feet in dark clothing. Police say they are not assuming the crimes are linked but are not ruling it out.

The first robbery was at 11am at the Southwest Christian Academy, followed by the Bayview Academy at 3pm and the Alpha Learning Centre 30 minutes after that.

Cash, jewelry and some personal items were taken.

Lauroname Strachan, a supervisor at Southwest Christian Academy, said she saw the robber get into the passenger side of a blue Ford Explorer which then sped off.

Strachan said that the robber did not disturb the school children during the attack but headed straight for the office.

Reports are that in at least two of the incidents, the thief wore a dark cloth over his face.
