Parliamentary Secretary?in the Ministry of Health, Irene Sandiford-Garner, became one of the latest victims in the BlackBerry cellphone theft craze that has been occurring daily.
On Wednesday night, while sitting in her vehicle in SuperCentre Warrens supermarket car park, the 50-year-old mother of two was attacked by a masked, knife-wielding robber, who demanded her BlackBerry cellphone.
Shocked and angry, she fought for her life, sustaining bruises to her hand and neck in the process.
Yesterday, as the reality of the ordeal finally hit her, Sandiford-Garner bravely spoke out against the upsurge in crime, especially thefts of jewellery and cellular phones.
