The Premier League of the Caribbean was shaken by a scary incident at Barbados. Two players from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and a CPL official were stolen under the threat of a firearm in the early hours of September 9. The group returned from a private event and stopped to gain food on the way back to the hotel when the attack occurred, just before 3 am. According to reports, thieves continued jewelry and valuables. In the fight, a firearm was abandoned and then recovered by the police. Fortunately, none of the victims was injured, but the event left the shaken cricket community. The authorities have not disclosed the names of the players or the official involved. The Barbadian police service confirmed that the weapon had been obtained and that an active investigation is underway to identify the officials. Meanwhile, the Patriots reassured that their players and the CPL staff are safe and cooperate with the police. A spokesperson for the CPL also addressed the incident, stressing that the main priority of the League is the well-being of all those affected. The case, they added, is now entirely in the hands of the police. Despite fear, the Patriots are preparing for their next match against the Barbados Royals in Kensington Oval on September 11, although team security was tightened and surveillance has been increased. The franchise has chosen not to reveal the identities of those taken in the ordeal, maintaining privacy during the investigation.
