In a series of alarming incidents, armed bandits carried out coordinated robberies in Trinidad, leaving victims traumatized and authorities scrambling for answers. The first incident occurred in Glencoe on the night of October 16, when a 58-year-old man was ambushed on his way home from the Princes Casino at West Mall. At the corner of Rodney Road and Schullere Street, the victim encountered a silver SUV blocking his path. Two masked assailants, one armed with a cutlass and the other with a gun, forced their way into his vehicle, demanding he drive them to his residence. Once there, the bandits tied up the man and his 24-year-old son, ransacked the home, and fled with $11,000 in cash, a high-end iPhone, and the victim’s SUV. The son managed to free himself and his father, prompting a police response that led to the interception of the stolen vehicle in St. James. One suspect is in custody, assisting with the investigation. In a separate but similarly brazen attack the same night, a San Juan woman was robbed in Woodbrook. As she approached her car on Fitt Street, two men accosted her, stealing $25,000 worth of jewelry and $15,000 in gold bracelets before fleeing in a silver Nissan Almera. Authorities are actively pursuing the suspects in both cases, highlighting a concerning trend of violent robberies in the region.
