“The couple were in their lounge when they were accosted by two armed men. The suspects had a firearm and a knife and ordered the couple to keep quiet. They then grabbed two cellphones that were on the table and jumped over the couple’s balcony railing and fled on foot. Thankfully the couple were unharmed in the incident,” Deokaran said

He added attempts to trace the cellphones were unsuccessful.

This is the first robbery in the area since December where a domestic worker was assaulted by armed suspects also in the La Lucia area.
