A family in Claxton Bay was subjected to a terrifying home invasion when two masked men, arriving in a grey Nissan Note with false plates, forced their way into their Soldad Road residence around 6:20 am. The assailants, one armed with a gun, held the 49-year-old man, his wife, and daughter captive while searching the house. The robbers successfully escaped in the waiting car after taking cash, jewellery, and cellphones.

Stay Alert Even in Safe Areas: Home invasions are rare here, but the habits that prevent them — locking up while at home, not opening gates without verifying callers, keeping yard lighting functional — are worth maintaining year-round.

Business Confidence Zone: Low crime areas like Sum Sum Hill attract higher commercial investment, creating a positive cycle of foot traffic, lighting, and community presence that reinforces safety.
