The victim told police that it was around 09:50 am while upstairs with her daughter she heard noises coming from down stairs. She walked to the stairway and looked downstairs at which time she saw the robber standing in the house. The robber noticing her in the house ran upstairs and threatened to use his weapon. The woman said the robber then proceeded to steal several pieces of jewelry, a laptop computer, credit and debit cards and other personal items from the home. After committing his act, the robber fled the scene.
In an unrelated incident, an elderly lady and her caretaker were also robbed at gunpoint while at home. Police spokesman Ricardo Henson said the same day Friday February 11th, the residents of Marigot Hill Drive identified as P.E.R. and S.N.N. filed an official complaint with the Special Robbery Unit. The caretaker S.N.N. stated that it was approximately 01:30 pm, while she was in the kitchen cooking when a robber who was dressed in dark clothing, with his face covered with a black ski mask and carrying a handgun gained access into the home via the kitchen door.
The caretaker was forced by the robber into the bedroom where the other victim P.E.R. was asleep at the time. The caretaker let out a scream awakening the P.E.R. The victims resisted against the robber by striking him several times with a cane, however the robber succeeded in stealing a gold chain with a gold pendant.
The Special Robbery Unit and Forensic department are investigating both cases.
