Five St Kitts men charged in connection with robbing cruise ship passengers on the road to Brimstone Hill in November 2010 pleaded guilty when they re-appeared in Court on Wednesday in a case that shocked the Caribbean island and roiled its tourist industry.
A release yesterday from the Office of the St Kitts Prime Minister said that “The guilty pleas, which saved the court’s time, have been welcomed by law enforcement officials who remain firm in their relentless attack on crime and the mission to protect all residents and visitors to St. Kitts and Nevis.
“Elroy Williams, Junior Sobratie, Curtis Long, George Welsh of Sandy Point and Delvin Francis of St. Paul’s, were indicted on four counts of Robbery, one count of Assault with intent to Rob, one count of Accessory before the fact and one count of Conspiracy to Rob.
