Two tour groups on shore excursions from separate cruise ships were robbed in Nassau by two gunmen armed with shotguns Nov. 20. The groups were on a Segway tour of a forest preserve called Earth Village near the port when the robbers tied up the Bahamian tour guide of the first group, ordered everyone down, then robbed them of their cash and valuables. When the second group arrived the gunmen robbed them as well. Authorities were outraged and vowed to use all police resources to apprehend the culprits. Tourism is the lifeblood of the Bahamian economy and officials know the damage such incidents can do. Police vowed to set up an extensive security system in the forest preserve to prevent further such incidents.
