Again, that ambush suggests some level of organized crime - which is what seems to have been at work in the city last week when there were multiple armed robberies on the city's main street in the same day.
And the criminals pounced because police patrols were concentrated in the gang hotspots. Today though we saw a pronounced and prominent police presence in the downtown area - including multiple teams from the specialized units like SPU, and MIT.
They were very visible on street corners and one team was posted directly in front of Hofius which was robbed a week ago. We also saw motorbike patrols.
And while police are present and visible, we saw the Police Minister and Senior Eastern Division Commander and the Commissioner Touring downtown, as well as the George Street and Rocky Road areas which are gang rivals.
