Salesman robbed at gunpoint during business transaction (27-year-old)

Irving Street, Petit Bourg, San Juan, San Juan - Laventille

A 27-year-old salesman was robbed at gunpoint on Irvin Street, Petit Bourg on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 around 2:30 p.m. while conducting a business transaction. Two men approached him—one identifying himself as "Nick" and a second armed with a firearm who emerged from nearby bushes, grabbed the victim by his jersey, forced him to kneel, and threatened to kill him. The assailants searched the victim's pockets and stole TT$2,560 in cash (the day's sales), then searched his white H100 company vehicle and took a duffle bag containing a Samsung A17 phone, a black iPhone 8, and a red iPhone 12. After the robbery, the suspects ordered the victim to leave the scene. The salesman drove to the San Juan Police Station to report the incident.
