Three armed men in the wee hours of Tuesday morning broke into the home of an elderly couple at Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway, and escaped with cash, jewellery and a motorcar.
Based on reports received, at about 01:45h, 61-year-old Frederick David was awakened by the three men as they stood by his bedside. The men were armed with a cutlass, a shotgun and a knife respectively.
The elderly man was ordered to lie on the floor and his hands and feet were bound. He was also gagged. His wife remained asleep during the ordeal.
The armed men then ransacked the couple’s home and packed away one 40-inch TCL flat screen television, two gold rings, two BLU mobile phones, one Samsung Galaxy mobile phone, two Dell laptops, and G$25,000 in cash. They reportedly placed the items in the man’s car bearing registration number PVV 1491 and made good their escape.
After the men left, the elderly man managed to untie himself and called out to his wife who subsequently alerted the neighbours. The Police were summoned and it was discovered that the bandits gained entry into the home through the back door of the house.
The crime scene was dusted for fingerprints as investigations continue.
