Four masked men armed with cutlasses broke into a flat concrete house at 6 Milemark, Congo Trace, Penal Rock Road around 4:10 am on May 18th, 2025, by removing a plywood cover from an open space on the northern side. One intruder, described as approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and slim, dragged a 38-year-old occupant off his bed, declaring "I come to kill you!" before dealing him several blows and stealing a Stihl FS 85 grass trimmer worth $4,000 TT. The other three suspects, also armed and masked, robbed the remaining victims, including a 62-year-old woman, a 31-year-old woman, and a 12-year-old girl, taking several cell phones, a wallet containing ID and cash, a tablet, and two laptops. After the assault, the suspects escaped through a door on the southern side of the house and fled into a nearby bushy area. Police are investigating the incident.
