According to the police, at about 11:41 a.m. Thursday officers were dispatched to the hotel in Estate Davis Bay. At the scene, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Bureau talked with a Carambola employee who told them she had been in the office speaking with a male employee, when a man wearing a mask came in the office with what appears to be a firearm. He demanded money.
