“These kids, they had better get up in the morning, at 5 a.m., like me, and go to work”, told us Patrick, employee of a discount bazaar robbed very early, this Sunday morning, on the boulevard Chanzy, in Pointe-a-Pitre. One of the three criminals put his firearm on his head.

Patrick, the employee present, did not want to let it go. He found himself with the barrel of a pistol to his temple, aimed by one of the criminals, while the other two were using:

He took out his weapon, he put it on my head and he said to me: “don’t move”.
