On Tues­day, a cou­ple was robbed at their home in Aranguez, short­ly af­ter re­turn­ing from their busi­ness.

Po­lice said around 9:05 pm, as the cou­ple en­tered their front door, they were con­front­ed by three men who forced them in­side and an­nounced a rob­bery.

The sus­pects, all de­scribed as males of African de­scent, de­mand­ed mon­ey from the cou­ple. One sus­pect, armed with a cut­lass, tied the vic­tims' hands with tie straps be­fore the group ran­sacked their home.

The rob­bers stole a to­tal of $54,000 in cash, as well as two cell phones val­ued at a com­bined $10,000. Ad­di­tion­al­ly, the thieves took the keys to the cou­ple's white Toy­ota Aqua, which they used to flee the scene.

In­ves­ti­gat­ing of­fi­cers vis­it­ed the scene, in­ter­viewed wit­ness­es, and re­viewed CCTV footage from neigh­bour­ing homes. A re­quest was al­so made to the Cy­ber Crime Unit to track the stolen cell phones.

How­ev­er, de­spite ex­ten­sive ef­forts, the ve­hi­cle and sus­pects re­main at large.

The in­ci­dent was cap­tured on sur­veil­lance cam­eras and its footage went vi­ral on so­cial me­dia.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue.
