POLICE are investigating reports that indecent assault was committed against two juvenile female tourists on Harbour Island yesterday.
Sometime around midnight and 2am, the girls were on a beach when they were allegedly indecently assaulted by two Bahamian men, police said in a statement. The men, residents of the island, were taken into custody.
Police declined yesterday to elaborate on the incident, telling The Tribune charges of rape, unlawful sexual intercourse or indecent assault could result from their investigations.
Police also reported that a suspected drowning of a Chinese woman took place on the Berry Islands around 11am yesterday.
The woman was found unresponsive in waters off Great Sturrup Cay. She was pronounced dead at a local clinic on the island.

Sounds like some of the sub human jetski operators on Cabbage Beach have relocated to Harbour Island.... or maybe just opened a franchise!
I'm sure the vigilant law enforcement will do something about this right away to protect tourism
(...not)

The Harbour Island of today is not the Harbour Island of yesteryear. Drugs, stealing, intimidation and harassment of visitors are commonplace, and it definitely is not safe to roam around at night, as it was before. Another "gem" is fast vanishing.

Or maybe two girls thought to get chummy with the local men and when asked about it by their guardians lied about what happened. Wouldn't be the first time it has happened.
Let's not be so quick to pass judgement without first knowing the details.

Not just them ,but lazy disrespectful locals who have no concept of decency or knowing their place in an environment meant to be a spot for a vacation filled with wonder and good memories.

Harbour Island is a classic case of unrestrained overdevelopment of a rural community by foreign interests ........ and Bahamians and illegals are ghettoized ....... like Bimini, Georgetown, and Marsh Habour ........... But the Government does little to improve or regulate these places because they are only interested in the TAXES for the (Nassau) Treasury.
