AN American tourist is dead after he was thrown from a four-wheeler in the Arawak Cay area on Saturday.

Police said the accident took place around 3pm on February 18 near the Arawak Cay Police Station.

A 42-year-old woman lost control of a green 2019 CAM-Outlander four-wheeler in an open area where it overturned. This resulted in the male passenger being ejected from the four-wheeler causing him to suffer serious injuries.

The victim, who is believed to be in mid-twenties and is from Miami, was taken to hospital where he later died.

The driver in this accident, who is also from Miami, is currently assisting authorities with their investigation.

Police are also investigating two armed robberies that took place over the weekend.

The first incident took place at a business on Charles W Saunders Highway around 8.30pm on Saturday. Police were told that two masked male suspects wearing white t-shirts held up the business with firearms and demanded cash.

The suspects left with an undetermined amount of cash as well as a patron’s cellphone. It is further reported that while fleeing the scene in a light-coloured Nissan Note, the gunmen opened fire on the occupants of a small Japanese vehicle parked in the front of the buildings.

The suspects reportedly fled in the direction of Nassau Village; no injuries were reported in this incident.

Around 1am on Sunday a woman was mugged outside her residence in eastern New Providence.

A gunman robbed her of her blue 2018 Honda Civic, licence plate number AX1251.
