The suspect reached inside the car and snatched a gold chain and pendant from around the neck of one of the occupants, a 55 year old Pembroke man. A brief struggle ensued between the two men, before the suspect approached a 33 year old Pembroke woman and kicked her in the side. The suspect then picked up a blunt object and used it to damage the car’s front windshield and rear windows. At this point several area residents got involved and the suspect attempted to make good his escape on foot towards Friswells Hill. He was seen by Police attempting to flee and arrested. The gold chain and pendant were recovered. The blunt object was also seized by Police. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
