A 38-year-old labourer from Breadfruit Alley, Argyle, Tobago reported that his home was invaded on Sunday night around 9:40 p.m. The victim had secured his home and taken a sleeping pill around 9 p.m., leaving $6,000 in cash in the pocket of blue jeans next to his bed. His brother arrived home around 9:15 p.m. and entered through the unlocked kitchen door. The victim was awakened by a neighbour's phone call around 9:40 p.m. alerting him that his kitchen door was open. Upon checking, he discovered the kitchen door on the western side of the house was open, a wardrobe in another bedroom had been opened, his belongings were displaced, and the $6,000 cash was missing from his jeans. Police reported that four men wearing black masks and white vests were seen entering and leaving the premises through the kitchen door. The suspects escaped along Breadfruit Alley, then onto Pine Hill and through a bushy track. The investigation is ongoing.
