Two pastors were robbed on Sheriff Street, Georgetown on Tuesday as they were about to enter a supermarket.
Reports are that about 14:45h the pastors – a 33-year-old male and a 36-year-old female – were heading to the supermarket when they were approached by two men on a black motorcycle. Police said that the pillion rider dismounted and pointed a gun at the pastors while demanding that they hand over all their belongings. However, both pastors refused and the gunman fired a round in their direction which did not hit them, but caused them to let go of their valuables. Police said that the bandits escaped with one wallet which contained several bank cards along with a driver’s licence and national card and $2000 from one of the victims. The bandits also took one gold iPhone XS Max valued $250,000, a black wallet valued TT$2000; a T&T driver’s licence, T&T NIS card, $3000 and a red handbag valued $10,000.
Following the robbery, the pillion rider then mounted the motorcycle and both perpetrators made good their escape.
Police have since launched an investigation.
