A security guard was robbed of cash and valuables—along with a bucket of KFC—after he arranged to meet a female friend in Laventille on Tuesday night.
The 40-year-old San Juan man made arrangements to meet the 21-year-old woman at Kerr Trace, Morvant, around 9 pm on May 7, 2024.
He reportedly was introduced to her about three months ago by a co-worker of his.
The two allegedly met on three occasions at the Priority Bus Route in the vicinity of Toyota Motors, where he reportedly gave her money on each occasion to help her with rent and other expenses.
The victim told police he went to the woman’s home after she told him she wanted to introduce him to her parents.
Arriving via taxi at Kerr Trace where he was met by the woman, the victim was instructed to walk up a nearby hill and then further north to a track.
Voicing concerns after the woman told him to walk in front of her, the victim was confronted by two men.
As one man grabbed the victim’s right hand, the second man held on to the back of his neck and pushed his head down.
Forcing him to sit on the ground in the dark, the victim was ordered to hand over his wallet which contained TT $1,650 in cash; bank and identification cards; and a DL Pro Plus cell-phone valued at TT $740.
In addition, the men took the bucket of KFC, which was valued at TT $140.
Following this, the victim was ordered to walk west out of the track as the three suspects headed east.
The victim was assisted by a passing motorist who took him to the Morvant Police Station, following which officers returned to the address but were unable to locate the suspects.
PC Mohan of the Cyber Crime Unit was contacted and was only able to identify the general area of Never Dirty, Morvant, as the phone was switched off.
Investigations continue.
