Eight men were arrested in connection with a violent robbery in Maraval that was captured on video and shared on social media.
Police reported that a 56-year-old woman was attacked by three men outside a business place along Saddle Road, Maraval, shortly after withdrawing a large sum of money from a bank on Tuesday afternoon.
According to TTPS Public Information Officer, Acting Assistant Superintendent of Police Owie Russell, the eight men, aged between 19 and 39, have been arrested.
The suspects allegedly assaulted the woman and stole a bag containing TT$22,000 in cash, an iPhone 12 and several bank cards before fleeing the scene.
“Arising out of the entire operation, a total of eight suspects were arrested. The officers later proceeded to North Coast Road opposite Maracas Bay, where a grey Nissan Tiida with registration number PDN 5390, believed to be the vehicle used to commit the crime, was found, minus the battery.”
