A BARBER who is known for wearing a thick gold chain attracted the wrong attention when two bandits on a motorcycle visited his North Ruimveldt home Wednesday afternoon and attempted to rob him.The barber has been identified as 37-year-old Roger Lovell. According to reports, one of the bandits acted as a lookout at the man’s residence while the other made his way into Lovell’s home and woke him up by beating him with a gun.

Startled, the barber was questioned about the specific gold chain. As the beating continued at gunpoint, Lovell used his bed sheet to wrap it around the bandit’s arm, tugging it towards a window.

Both bandits were caught by the residents and beaten severely.

“Police come here in time because they would of dead,” one man said.
“I never see thief happy to see police,” another resident noted.

Police recovered a .32 pistol and live rounds at the scene. Both bandits were admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital and one is reported to be in a critical condition.

Lovell has also been hospitalized.
