In the second incident, shortly before 1am Wednesday, a man was standing near his home when he was approached by two masked men who attempted to rob him. A struggle followed and the man was shot in his shoulder before the gunmen ran away. This victim is also in stable condition.
Police are also investigating an armed robbery that occurred after 2am Wednesday. A woman was standing near her car on Croton Street off Faith Avenue when she was approached by two men armed with firearms. The gunmen stole her grey Honda Accord, registration AJ8475, and other items before escaping.
Police also said a woman was arrested after Anti-Gang and Firearms officers found 16 pounds of marijuana in a bushy area on Dorsette Alley. This occurred around 9pm on Tuesday.

These people have to stop with the robberies. It's at a point now where people can't even pull up to their homes without some a** threatening them for their own belongings. The government needs to look into slowly but surely installing cameras on every street in Nassau. Of course this may be wishful thinking on my part but if they don't do it then Bahamians should purchase their own security systems for their houses to make sure that even if they get robbed, they can plaster the faces of the perpetrators all over town until they're caught. This is beyond ridiculous now.
