posted (October 29, 2018)
Police were quick to catch a man red-handed after a jewelry store robbery. He is Delroy Chaplin. After Chaplin allegedly robbed Pacheco's jewelry on Friday at noon, he ran directly into the path of the police mobile responding to the robbery in progress. Here's how it went:

ASP Alejandro Cowo
"There was a robbery report made by Britney Myers, who is an employee at the Pacheco's Jewelry shop located at #66 East Colet Canal. She reported that while she was inside the business establishment two male persons entered the business establishment, one of them armed with a firearm who pointed the firearm at her and demanded to hand over the jewelries that were inside the showing-glass inside of the business establishment. One of the male persons ordered her to lie down on the floor, which she complied with. Thereafter one of them jumped over the counter and cleaned all the jewelries that were inside of the showing-glass. As a result the two male persons ran from the business establishment. Quick police response led to the detention of one Delroy Roderick Chaplin. He was pursued and police found all the jewelries in his possession. As a result of that, he was arrested and charged for the crime of robbery."

Police are looking for Chaplin's accomplice. Today in court, Chaplin pled not guilty to the charge of robbery. Due to the fact that it was an armed robbery, he was denied bail and remanded into custody until January 3rd, 2019.
