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.

Here, Sandiford-Garner showing the bruise she received to her neck after her attacker put a knife to her throat and demanded her cellphone.

What is it going to take,before the government step up its punishment of crimanals? It’s time to get back to the cat o nine tails. Rule like you once use to rule.. Remember when we never had one murder for years.That was because we hang murderers,and flog criminals.Are you going to wait untill,some one take out an entire neighbourhood,before something is done,about crime in Barbados?
