Two stu­dents of Queen’s Roy­al Col­lege, Port-of-Spain, were robbed of $60 in cash and a cell phone by a gun­man while on their way to play a foot­ball match in St Clair on Fri­day.

The stu­dents, aged 14, of Curepe and San Juan, were re­port­ed­ly walk­ing along Ser­pen­tine Road, St Clair, in the vicin­i­ty of the ten­nis court around 2.45 pm when they were ap­proached by a man.

The sus­pect, who was not masked, lift­ed his jer­sey and showed the boys a gun tucked in the waist­band of his pants as he de­mand­ed, “Give me every­thing all yuh have like phone and mon­ey.”

The scared vic­tims then hand­ed over $60 in cash along with a Blu G5 cell phone val­ued $725. The sus­pect then walked off with the items.

The boys lat­er re­port­ed the in­ci­dent to their coach who con­tact­ed the po­lice.

A search was car­ried out in the area for the sus­pect but no one fit­ting the de­scrip­tion was held.
