Recently there have been several armed robberies or attempted robberies at businesses whereby the culprits/suspects have been disguising themselves using complete or partial uniforms representing delivery companies established on the island.

Using these disguises the culprits, mainly during unexpected hours, would gain or attempt to gain access to establishments, where they would use force by means of a weapon (mainly fire-arms) to rob the establishment of its valuables and then flee the scene without being seen or being noticed.
