A chilling video has surfaced online showing the moment 56-year-old JLP scrutineer Lorna Robertson, also known as “Nicky,” was abducted in broad daylight along Old Hope Road in St. Andrew. The shocking footage has reignited fears in the community as police intensify their search for the missing woman and deepen investigations into a possible link with the recent murder of JLP activist David Clarke.
CAUGHT ON CAMERA: TERRIFYING MOMENTS
The terrifying incident unfolded around 5:36 a.m. on Saturday, near the Diabetes Association of Jamaica. In the now-viral video, Robertson can be seen walking calmly down the street when a man clad in a black hoodie and red shorts emerges from behind. A slow-moving black vehicle trails close as he suddenly grabs her. She screams, but within seconds, she’s forcibly shoved into the car and driven away.
At the time of her abduction, Robertson was wearing a cream blouse and tangerine-colored shorts. The scene is both surreal and horrifying — a woman vanishing in plain sight on a busy Kingston road.
POLITICAL TIES & A DEADLY CONNECTION
Robertson is well-known in political circles as a scrutineer for the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). Her disappearance occurred just one day before the funeral of JLP activist David Clarke, otherwise known as “Roger,” who was gunned down in Swallowfield, St Andrew.
The timing and proximity of both events have stirred unease in the politically active communities of Swallowfield and South East St. Andrew. Investigators now suspect a notorious gang operating in Swallowfield may be orchestrating targeted attacks. While a motive is yet to be confirmed, the possibility of coordinated violence against JLP figures has not been ruled out.
TENSION MOUNTS ACROSS COMMUNITIES
The double blow of Clarke’s murder and Robertson’s abduction has ignited tension across South East St. Andrew. The brazen nature of Robertson’s kidnapping has further fueled community outrage and deep concern, particularly with suggestions that criminal elements may be targeting political figures.
The police have urged the public to help bring answers to this case. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Lorna Robertson is being asked to contact:
