Early-morning robbery leaves US visitors without cash and computer while bandits escape in stolen jeep

A Willoughby Bay couple was robbed by armed gunmen of almost
$8,500 in cash and a computer, and the Police are investigating
the incident.

This offence reportedly occurred at about 6:30 a.m. on January
15 and was reported to the Dockyard Police Station by the
couple’s Piccadilly landlord.

He told officers that the 62-year-old woman and her 67-year-old
husband had been robbed at gunpoint by two masked men.
Both tenants reportedly are from the United States and were
staying at Limora House at Willoughby Bay.

Reports say the victims were on the patio drinking coffee, with the
man working on his laptop, when two slim, dark-skinned males,
carrying silver 9mm pistols, appeared out of nowhere.
Both were wearing dark-coloured clothing and black masks to
conceal their identity.

The bandits reportedly walked up on the couple, pointed their
weapons at them, and asked, “Whey the money?”
Further reports are that the husband pointed out a bedroom
upstairs, from which the bandits took US$2,000 and EC$3,000 in

cash from his wife’s hand bag, and they ransacked the entire
room. 

The perpetrators then proceeded downstairs, where they stole a
Lenovo laptop valued at US$1,000.

They exited the house and then stole a black Wrangler jeep,
R4939, that was parked in the driveway and fled.

The robbers apparently were able to gain entry into the property
from an open gate on the northern side of the property.
