De­spite re­peat­ed warn­ings to mem­bers of the pub­lic to ex­er­cise cau­tion when ar­rang­ing sales trans­ac­tions on­line, rob­beries have con­tin­ued to oc­cur.

The lat­est vic­tim was a Bar­rack­pore man who came to Port-of-Spain at­tempt­ing to sell a Sam­sung S22 Ul­tra cell­phone val­ued at TT $4,800.

The 33-year-old man went with his wife to Prince Street around 1:45 pm on Sun­day, to sell the item af­ter ar­rang­ing the sale via the in­ter­net.

As the cou­ple ar­rived, they were met by two men – one of whom was armed with a gun.

The man was re­lieved of the cell­phone as well as his black G-Shock watch which was val­ued at TT $3,200.

He was lat­er blind-fold­ed and tak­en to a room and beat­en about the head and face, be­fore be­ing re­leased.

The cou­ple lat­er made a re­port at the Besson Street Po­lice Sta­tion and while checks were car­ried out for the sus­pects, no one was ap­pre­hend­ed.
