Rony Jean, 32, the suspect shot and killed by police on Spikenard Road on Wednesday, was linked to 29 armed robberies, police said yesterday.

According to Assistant Commissioner Stephen Dean, police also recovered eight vehicles they believe Jean stole. These robberies took place over the span of the last two months. At the time of the shooting, Jean was wearing a stolen police uniform shirt with sergeant stripes on his shoulders, police said. He was wanted in relation to multiple armed robberies, including three on Wednesday morning. Police said the first robbery occurred shortly after 10 a.m. on Carmichael Road.

A man was robbed of a red Jeep Cherokee. Moments later, a woman was held up at gunpoint, also on Carmichael Road, and robbed of her cell phones. Police said a short while after this, a man was robbed of his silver Honda CRV.

Dean told The Nassau Guardian yesterday police see this breakthrough as a success. He said there is still a possibility Jean was also involved in several other matters. Police said they are continuing to investigate.
