RHON­DOR DOWLAT

Three women were robbed of close to $1.5 mil­lion in cash and oth­er valu­ables in Cunu­pia, in broad day­light on Wednes­day, dur­ing a home in­va­sion.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around mid­day, a 38-year-old woman was at her home at Madras Road with her two teenage daugh­ters when a group of six men armed with firearms forced their way in­to the premis­es.

The men an­nounced a hold-up and tied up the three vic­tims.

They then pro­ceed­ed to ran­sack the home, grab­bing sev­er­al items of val­ue, be­fore leav­ing in a bur­gundy ve­hi­cle.

Checks were made and a pel­let gun, a quan­ti­ty of jew­ellery, and $454,000 in cash which was be­ing kept at the home were found to be miss­ing.

The ve­hi­cle which was used in the rob­bery was found aban­doned in the area and re­cov­ered.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
