House robberies are to be expected throughout the year. If there are occupants or not, it does not deter them from trying to take what is not theirs.

On December 2 in the early evening hours, one victim was standing in the front yard of his home in the Central Business District (CBD) when he was approached by three unknown males wearing face masks.

It is believed that the robbers demanded the homeowner go inside.

The robbers allegedly had a firearm. Upon going inside, the robbers then beat the helpless victim.

According to reports, the victim’s brother was the robber’s target as they asked for him by name.

Whilst the suspected robbers were in the house looking for valuables, the victim escaped through the bathroom window.

Investigations are currently underway.
