Af­ter be­ing robbed at his home, a vic­tim was forced to dri­ve the sus­pect to a lo­ca­tion, where he got out and es­caped on foot.

Po­lice said a 33-year-old project man­ag­er and his 69-year-old rel­a­tive were asleep at their Princes Town home dur­ing the ear­ly hours of Tues­day morn­ing, when the ban­dit en­tered the house by forc­ing open a win­dow.

The vic­tim had re­turned home from work around 2.45 am.

His rel­a­tive was al­ready asleep. He se­cured the house and then went to bed. How­ev­er, around 3.30 am, his rel­a­tive was awak­ened by a man’s voice in her bed­room.

She saw a man who claimed he had a firearm. He de­mand­ed that she give him her valu­ables. The el­der­ly woman be­came afraid and gave him jew­ellery, a black Sam­sung A-21 and $100.

The rob­ber then or­dered her to wake the project man­ag­er, who was asleep in his bed­room. She com­plied. The sus­pect then robbed him of jew­ellery, a Sam­sung Note 8 and $1,000.

Fol­low­ing this, the sus­pect or­dered him to his (vic­tim) Toy­ota Hilux and in­struct­ed him to dri­ve to­wards New Grant.

When they were close to the New Grant Ceme­tery, the sus­pect or­dered the vic­tim to stop the ve­hi­cle. He then got out and ran off, leav­ing the two cell phones in the ve­hi­cle with the vic­tim.

PC Clarence, of the Princes Town Po­lice Sta­tion, is in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
