TravelTalkOnline Forums Thread Like Summary - Robbery in Baie Nettle, Tourist Shot

Faxinfo is reporting that a German tourist was shot during a Tuesday evening robbery in a Baie Nettle restaurant. I’m not seeing the incident reported anywhere else. My French-side contact is in Guadeloupe this week, so I can’t verify it locally.

Is anyone else hearing anything?

Was it at Mezzanine Luna or they saw it from Mezzanine Luna?

Either way, sounds like the King of the Netherlands and Emmanuel better have a community policing meeting

My goodness, what is happening on this island? I haven't been back in a few years now, was hoping to return next year, but all of the goings on is seriously making me reconsider!! Good grief🙏

This Sh**t is becoming more frequent. Makes me want to stick closer to my resort in the evening. Not the island of past.

Orient has been pretty good, but even Club Orient had some infiltrators I recall at least once that snuck by security. When it was open, our heads would be on a swivel if we walked between Village “square” back to Pedros. Been worried but never threatened on the few times we made that walk even during daylight.

Anyway, Be careful wherever you are, even SXM

How will a shuttle help you if someone armed enters a restaurants and shoots? These people were at Mezzaluna and the thugs entered from the beach. Sadly this could happen anywhere.
