night, Police confirmed.

The man was travelling from St. George's shortly before 7 p.m. when he was flagged down, assaulted, and robbed, a source told The Royal Gazette . He told Police he lost $50,000 in receipts from work, the source said.

A Police spokesman would only say: "The allegation is that he had a large quantity of money stolen from him.'' The Criminal Investigation Division was investigating. Also, a bag of money was reported stolen during a power blackout last night at Devonshire Recreation Club. Soccer fans were angered when two football matches could not be held and it was reported that someone stole the receipts.

A Police spokesman said he heard about the incident but could provide no details.
