WILLEMSTAD - The four young people who wanted to rob Toko Esperansa in December last year received a suspended prison sentence between 15 and 18 months and a community service order.
The four decided to call off the robbery at the last minute but were seen by witnesses. When the police noted their car on the road, the perpetrators took off. Police fired shots at the fleeing car, hitting the four as well.
In the car, police found face-covering clothing and an airsoft gun. The four must now report to the Probation Service and will be given a three-year probationary period.
