Two men were robbed by knife-tot­ing ban­dits as they of­floaded a garbage truck at the Beetham Land­fill on Wednes­day.

The vic­tims were a 34-year-old of Tu­na­puna, and a 34-year-old of Cunu­pia.

The two were re­port­ed­ly of­fload­ing waste ma­te­r­i­al around 1 pm at the Port-of-Spain site, when they were al­leged­ly ap­proached by two men.

One of the men al­leged­ly pulled a knife from his waist and point­ed it at the vic­tims, as he an­nounced a rob­bery.

The sus­pects then pro­ceed­ed to rob one man of a gold chain val­ued at $5,000, a gold wed­ding band val­ued at $3,500, a wal­let val­ued at $200 which con­tained $17 cash and an iPhone 12 Pro cell­phone val­ued at $4,500.

The sec­ond vic­tim was robbed of a Sam­sung S10 cell­phone val­ued at $2,000 and a pair of gloves al­so val­ued at $2,000.

The sus­pects lat­er fled the scene by walk­ing out of the site.
