UK boys robbed at gunpoint on trip
A dozen teenage boys from a British grammar school are waiting to be flown back home after being robbed at gunpoint on a trip to Guatemala, their head teacher said.
The teenagers, from the Skinners’ School in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, were two-thirds of the way into a month-long trip organised by World Challenge Expeditions, where they were carrying out volunteer work in local schools.
“We told the boys we would support them if they wanted to stay or if they wanted to come back and they said they wanted to come back.”
Mr Everson said the teenagers were accompanied by two teachers as well as an experienced expedition leader from the organisation.
