An attorney and her nine-year-old son were left traumatized after an armed robbery took place in the early hours of Friday, March 22, in their Piccadilly home.
According to reports, three masked men entered the residence at approximately 1:30 a.m. while the woman was asleep in her room. The intruders allegedly entered her son’s bedroom as well and held him in the hallway while they ransacked her room.
The trio robbed the lawyer of two Samsung cellular phones and an HP laptop; a quantity of gold and silver jewelry; a black leather bag containing her Antigua and Barbuda passport, an American passport, her driver’s license, her Social Security card, and ECAB card, as well as EC$500. Additionally, a piggy bank containing EC$70 and a voter ID card were taken from her bedroom.
One of the bandits is described as being of a slim build and about 6 feet 2 inches in height, wearing blue jeans and a green long-sleeved shirt. He reportedly carried an orange-colored gun. His two accomplices are said to be about 5 feet 5 inches in height and were wearing dark-colored clothing. All three had shirts covering their faces.
The robbers are believed to have entered the house through a sliding door that was closed but not locked, and they made their escape through the wooden front door.
The incident was reported to the Dockyard Police Station by the Piccadilly woman, who arrived at the station with her son.
A search was conducted in the surrounding areas for the alleged offenders, but without success. The investigation is ongoing.
