Shane Su­perville

Four sol­diers have been con­fined to Camp La Ro­main as en­quiries con­tin­ue in­to the rob­bery of two men at Build­ing 12, Mal­oney Gar­dens, last Mon­day night.

Sources con­firmed the sol­diers have been iden­ti­fied as sus­pects in the in­ci­dent, dur­ing which four masked men dressed in cam­ou­flage uni­forms robbed two men of a to­tal of $7,000 in cash.

By­standers re­port­ed see­ing the sus­pects en­ter what was de­scribed as a marked reg­i­ment ve­hi­cle bear­ing reg­is­tra­tion num­ber 5TTR275, which was lat­er seen dri­ving on­to the Churchill–Roo­sevelt High­way.

On Tues­day, sources con­firmed four serv­ing mem­bers of the Reg­i­ment were con­fined to bar­racks as in­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ued.

Po­lice said a sim­i­lar rob­bery was re­port­ed in Mal­oney one week be­fore the lat­est in­ci­dent.

En­quiries in­clude a re­view of log books for ve­hi­cles in use at the time, which al­lowed in­ves­ti­ga­tors to nar­row the list of sus­pects.

Of­fi­cers at­tached to the North­ern Di­vi­sion North CID Area South are con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
