Home News Police hunting 5 bandits after Sophia robbery
Police are now hunting five men who reportedly broke into a Sophia, Greater Georgetown home Wednesday morning and stole a quantity of valuables, including money, mobile phones and laptops.
Based on information received from Police C Division (East Coast) Commander Calvin Brutus, the incident occurred around 00:15h on Wednesday.
This newspaper was told that the victims, a 32-year-old man and his wife, were sound asleep, but they were awakened by the sounds of people kicking on the door to the A Field Sophia home.
By then, the male victim noted, it was too late for him to stop the unwanted entry as the five men, armed with cutlasses managed to kick in the door completely.
The perpetrators ordered that the couple remain silent and turn over all of their valuables, and as such, the now traumatised victims complied.
After the less-than-five minutes ordeal, the five bandits fled the scene. Investigations are ongoing.
