Police in several divisions along the East-West corridor are investigating numerous reports of robberies which took place throughout the day on Thursday.
In the first incident, police officers said a family of three was robbed of electronics and other valuables when bandits stormed their Piarco home at around 7.50 am.
Police said one of the victims, a 35-year-old woman was walking downstairs into the yard of her Factory Road Extension, home around 7.50 am when she was confronted by seven bandits, one of whom had a gun.
The bandits forced the woman back into the house where she was beaten on her head.
The bandits stole her cellphone, the keys to her car and a quantity of gold jewellery.
The bandits then went from room to room in the house, waking up one of the women from her sleep and stealing other valuables including electrical amps, an X-Box gaming console and controllers and other jewellery, before fleeing the house.
Hours later at 12.15 pm, bandits travelling in a silver car drove in front of a man's way, blocking him on Meade Street, El Dorado.
The bandits got out of the car and confronted him, stealing two iPhone cellphones, US $18, three Amazon fire sticks, two pairs of earplugs and a bottle of designer cologne, before getting back in the car and speeding off.
The robberies continued into the night when bandits in a grey Nissan Tiida drove in front of a woman who was sitting in her black Honda Vezel on Columbus Street, Arima, around 9.10 pm.
The bandits pointed a gun at the woman and pulled her out of the car, as one of them drove off with the vehicle, followed by their getaway car.
Minutes later around 9.20 pm, police said a Morvant man was parking his silver Nissan Tiida on Laventille Road, Chinnapoo, when another car drove alongside his own.
Two bandits, one of whom had a gun, got out of the car and ordered him out of his car.
One of the bandits drove off with the man's car, as his accomplice followed behind.
