Inside link set it up no doubt! !A man will even link his cronies to rob him himself to enuh!
Inside job set up by a Jamaican of course!
I don’t understand why people think everything that happens in Jamaica must be associated with “inside link”/”inside job”. At any point in time, you are under constant surveillance in Jamaica. People are watching your every move and these Chinese could have been observed meeting at this premises on a regular basis and these opportunists chose to pounced at that time.
I was almost robbed (in the New Kingston area) by a group of men who appeared out of nowhere, when I went to a venue that was closed at the time. They were not visible to me or the person I was with when we entered the grounds, seem to appeared out of thin air and was upon us with seconds. Luckily, we did not exit the vehicle and quick thinking got us out of that situation and I was able to drive off without being robbed/attacked by these group of thugs.
