The police in St Elizabeth have ramped up their search for a man who was among a trio that abducted and raped a teenage girl in the Vineyard district in the parish in June this year.

Two of the men allegedly involved in the incident have been arrested and charged with abduction and Rape.

Charged are 26-year-old Troyan Lewis, also known as ‘Jubi’ and 56-year-old Andrew Miller, also called ‘Man A Yaad’, both of Vineyard district, St Elizabeth.

They are yet to face the court.

Lawmen in St Elizabeth say they are following several leads and are coordinating with officers from other police divisions to apprehend the third man.

“We take these kinds of things very seriously, we have to protect our girls and women and where we can’t protect them they will get justice for any wrong done to them,” an officer told Loop News.

Reports on the incident are sometime after 1:00 pm on June 16, the teen was chasing cows from her yard onto the main road when Miller, Lewis and another man approached her in a motorcar.

Lewis allegedly exited the vehicle and forced her inside the car; the teen was taken to a house where she was sexually assaulted.

A report was made to the police and an investigation launched.

Both men were apprehended separately and later charged following interviews.

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

For the first time, the World Athletics Championships is being held in the United States.

Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, the spiritual home of track and field in the country, will host the planet’s best athletes over 10 days starting Friday.

More than 1,900 athletes from 192 international teams will compete on track and field’s largest stage outside of the Olympics.

At the previous World Championships in 2019 in Doha, Jamaica won 12 medals (3 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze), one less than their record achievements in Berlin 2009 where the country secured 13 medals (7 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze).

In Oregon, sprint stars Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson will lead Jamaica’s push for medals. So Loop Sports took to the streets to ask: How many medals will Jamaica win in Oregon?

Minister Lauds RSLPF, Urges Public Support For Police Officers – St. Lucia Times News

On Wednesday, External Affairs Minister Alva Baptiste paid glowing tribute to members of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) while urging the public to support police officers.

“I am here to salute the police for playing their part in ensuring that our society does not degenerate into a place that we cannot recognise,” Baptiste told officers during the Police Commissioner’s Parade, the first in four years.

And Baptiste declared that those who want to understand the usefulness of his statement should try a society like Saint Lucia’s without the RSLPF.

The remark drew applause from his audience.

“Police officers are human beings just like us,” he observed, adding that members of the RSLPF have wives, husbands, children, and feelings like everyone else.

“When we select police officers we select them from amongst ourselves – the general society and so the police force is a microcosm of the society, just like the parliament, just like the teaching service and other departments within our own society,” the Laborie MP explained.

In this regard, Baptiste said the RSLPF is merely one aspect of the architecture of dealing with criminal activities in this country and responding to societal challenges.

But he noted that this gobalised world does not make it easier for police officers to discharge their responsibilities.

“People have more sophisticated weapons. They have cell phones that you could use as a tool, but it can also be used as a weapon just like a kitchen knife,” Baptiste observed.

As a result, he pointed out that the aspect of the RSLPF’s mandate to protect and serve is under much stress.

Nevertheless, the Minister said despite the constraints, he sees the RSLPF maintaining a high level of humanity and exhibiting respect for life and liberty.

“I see integrity in the police force guided by the principles of justice and I see courage that despite all the criticism, they maintain mental and moral strength. They stand by their fellow officers in the face of danger,” Baptiste told his audience.

“When we do see deficiencies in the police force, we must reflect on our own deficiencies because I said a few moments ago, they are human just like us,” the Minister asserted.

And Baptiste said it was incumbent on citizens to support the work of the RSLPF.

Ivana Trump, la primera esposa del expresidente estadounidense Donald Trump y madre de sus tres hijos mayores, Ivanka, Donald Jr. y Eric, ha fallecido a los 73 años, según informó este jueves su familia en un comunicado.

“Ivana Trump fue una superviviente. Huyó del comunismo y abrazó este país. Enseñó a sus hijos el valor y la dureza, la compasión y la determinación. Su madre, sus tres hijos y sus 10 nietos la echarán mucho de menos”, reza la nota.

Por su parte, el exmandatario de EE.UU. detalló que su exesposa “falleció en su casa de Nueva York“, recoge AP. “Era una mujer maravillosa, hermosa y asombrosa que llevó una vida grandiosa e inspiradora. Su orgullo y alegría eran sus tres hijos, Donald Jr., Ivanka y Eric. Estaba tan orgullosa de ellos como todos nosotros lo estábamos de ella. Descansa en paz, Ivana”, publicó en su red social, Truth Social.

PriceSmart membership at all-time high Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

PriceSmart, the operator of 50 wholesale cubs in the Caribbean and Latin America, says its membership base is at an all-time high, with over 1.75 million accounts in its third quarter.

The new record follows the April 2022 opening of its Portmore club in St Catherine, Jamaica — PriceSmart’s second on the island.

PriceSmart reported that its net merchandise sales grew to almost US$1 billion in the third quarter ending May 2022 of its fiscal year, up 12.8 per cent over the comparative period last year.

PriceSmart CEO Sherry Bahrambeygui said the sales performance improved even after taking into account a negative currency impact of 2.2 per cent.

Comparable net merchandise sales for the 47 warehouse clubs that have been open for greater than 13 1/2 calendar months increased 12.8 per cent for the 13-week period ended May 29, 2022, compared to the comparable period of the prior year.

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impacted comparable net merchandise sales negatively by $18.6 million or 2.2% versus the same period in the prior year.

Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 15.1 per cent to $1.03 billion compared to $895.3 million in the comparable period of the prior year.

Bahrambeygui noted, however, that like many other retailers, PriceSmart has not been spared the impact of global supply chain disruption and abrupt shifts in consumer demands.

Despite making strategic investments in inventory to remain in stock and capture higher levels of sales, the CEO said supply-chain issues have disrupted the flow of inventory.

She also noted that inflation has influenced consumer behaviour by shifting the demand away from discretionary and toward more essential items.

“As a result, we have been experiencing excess inventory, primarily in the area of hardlines,” she said.

Hardlines refer to non-personal items such as sporting equipment, appliances or electronics.

“Our hardlines and other non-food categories are characterized by a higher penetration of imported items that tend to correlate with discretionary spending, the CEO explained.

To this end, PriceSmart said it has taken decisive action to swiftly sell through excess inventory and quickly rebalance its inventory mix as it has experienced higher than normal markdowns.

“Our plan is to handle this quickly and efficiently in order to be well-positioned for the holiday season.”

PriceSmart said it is likely to see some margin pressure in the fourth quarter but expects it will be far less than the third quarter.

“We see this as a point in time. We have gained many new important insights. We expect soon to return to our healthy, historical margin structures.”

In the meantime, Bahrambeygui said PriceSmart remains focused on its plan to drive growth through expansion of its global real estate footprint, increasing the value of the membership, and driving incremental sales through PriceSmart.com and through the creation of additional technology capabilities.

PriceSmart is also expanding in the region and has purchased land to open its third warehouse club in El Salvador.

The company had 50 warehouse clubs in operation as of May 31, 2022, compared to 47 warehouse clubs in operation as of May 31, 2021.
