Welfare Officer robbed of motorcycle in Tucville

Police are on the hunt for two men who robbed 27-year-old Alvin Leitch of his XR 150 motorcycle – CJ 3865 – worth $435,000 on Sunday night in front of the Tucville Community Center Ground.

News Room understands that Leitch, a Welfare Officer, was sitting on the motorcycle talking to his friends at around 19:45hrs, when two men – both armed with guns – exited the Community Center and attacked him.

Reports indicate that one of them pointed a black handgun at the victim’s face and demanded his motorcycle keys. Leitch refused and the gunman discharged two rounds into the air after which the young man handed over the keys.

The gunmen then mounted the motorcycle and escaped. Investigations are ongoing.
