And they have already arrested an 18-year-old Sandys man in connection with one of the robberies which took place at Admiralty House Park last Friday.

The 24-year-old victim told Police he was riding through the park around 8.20 p.m. when three youths jumped out, grabbed him, and dragged him off his cycle.

They also managed to remove his wallet before fleeing into the bushes.

The victim was not injured.

Twenty-four hours later, a similar robbery took place in Somerset.

A pizza delivery man told Police he was leaving a residence on West End Lane around 8 p.m. last Saturday when three youths approached him, grabbed him by his neck, and took his money pouch which contained "a small amount of cash''.

The thieves then fled on foot, leaving the 17-year-old victim uninjured.

Anyone who can assist with the Admiralty House robbery is asked to contact Central CID at 295-0011. Anyone with information on the Somerset robbery can call the Somerset Police Station at 234-1010.

The possibility of a connection has not been ruled out.

Police received reports of numerous crimes throughout the weekend.

They included 13 break-ins, 11 reports of stealing, 14 reports of stolen cycles, 17 accidents, of which six resulted in injuries, and three people arrested for impaired driving.

In addition to this, Marine Police were kept busy on Sunday with reports of boats breaking free from their moorings in the high winds.

They pulled seven boats from the rocks and made them secure.

They also urged boat owners to check their moorings at the earliest opportunity.
