School for Girls on Friday, The Royal Gazette has learned.

Two of the girls, who wished to remain anonymous, said yesterday they were attacked around 8 p.m. on Friday as they walked to a soccer game at the Bermuda Athletic Association field in Pembroke.

One of the girls was put into a headlock before having a gun pointed at her head, they said.

They were eventually relieved of $5 in cash.

"We never thought this would happen to us in Bermuda,'' the girl who was held at gunpoint said. "I have nightmares about it every night.'' According to the girls -- aged 15 -- they were approached by two masked males in the high school's Serpentine Road carpark on their way to BAA.

While three of girls walked ahead, the fourth was gripped in a headlock by one of the men, they said.

Before the other girls could react, the second male took hold of one and "threw her around'' before frisking all of them for money.

Thinking it was a joke, the girls said they began laughing, which only seemed to infuriate the men.

"Give me your money now!'' one of the girls quoted her assailant as saying.

She said no-one moved as he threw her to the ground and placed the gun between her eyes.

"Do you want to see your friend alive again?'' she recalled the man shouting.

She added: "I was too scared to scream. That guy's voice was full of anger and showed no remorse.'' Eventually, the girls said, they handed the second male five of the $60 they were carrying and both men fled the scene.

Before leaving, however, the first man struck one of the girls in the face with the butt of his gun, leaving her bruised and shocked.

One of the victims said they never contacted the Police because they didn't want to alarm their parents and because they had no definite description of the masked men.

Police spokesman P.c. Gary Venning said most victims of crimes called Police.

"The Police are required to contact the parents of juveniles before interviewing them,'' he said in reference to the girls not wanting their parents involved.

Referring to the fact that the girls had no definite description of the men, P.c. Venning said: "This is the wrong way to view it, all crimes should be reported.

"Our officers will investigate to the best of their ability and any information that might lead to the arrest or prevention of another crime is always useful.''
