A man who joined scores of other revellers for the August Monday 4 Rise and Shine Tramp had celebrations cut short literally when he allegedly became embroiled in a scuffle with another man. The man’s identity is not yet known and police have not released an official statement on the incident. However, police and other revellers found the man lying in the CCT parking lot with several cuts about the body. He was then rushed to Peebles Hospital where he was treated and later discharged. Law enforcement officials immediately stopped the festivities and also proceeded to cancel the following day’s Rise and Shine Tramp. (Photo by Gordon French)

What’s the point of expressing bewilderment at the state of violent crime increase in these islands if we are not prepared to do something about it? Gun crimes seem to have gone out of control. Ninety percent of these types of criminal activity have gone as mysteries. No one knows who done it.
