The Police are now on the hunt for two men who allegedly invaded the home of a Guyhoc Park liquor store owner and escaped with a television set and a mobile phone on Saturday morning.
Minerva Thompson, 40, of Lot 50 Guyhoc Park, Georgetown, told Police that the two men invaded her home at about 03:20h. The woman, who resides in the lower flat of a two-storey building, retired to bed but was awakened by a noise coming from her living room.
Upon checking, she was confronted by the two men, one of whom was armed with a gun. The men allegedly held the woman at gunpoint and instructed her to remain silent. One of the men then unplugged the television set while the other relieved her of her mobile phone.
The television set, the victim told investigators, cost $360,000.
As the men made good their escape, they reportedly discharged several rounds in the air to scare off members of the community who were passing at the time.
The woman subsequently contacted the Police who arrived at the scene and commence their investigations. They have since dusted the house for fingerprints.
