As in­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue in­to a break-in and rob­bery at Mil­len­ni­um Park, Trinci­ty, on Mon­day, some home­own­ers are now de­mand­ing an­swers as to how the ban­dits gained en­try to the se­cured com­pound.

Dur­ing the rob­bery, a quan­ti­ty of US cur­ren­cy along with two firearms, a quan­ti­ty of am­mu­ni­tion, and sev­er­al brand-name watch­es were stolen.

The 33-year-old home­own­er, who lives on Olympia Dri­ve, told po­lice he left home around 3 am on Mon­day, and on his re­turn around 3 pm he dis­cov­ered a door on the west­ern side of the prop­er­ty prised open. He al­so found the house ran­sacked. Fur­ther checks re­vealed US$5,000 in cash miss­ing. Oth­er miss­ing items in­clud­ed one CZ 10 9 mm pis­tol val­ued at $35,000; one Benel­li shot­gun val­ued at $35,000; one PCP pel­let gun val­ued at $23,000; one Ra­do wrist watch val­ued at $40,000; one Guc­ci wrist­watch val­ued at $2,000; 25 rounds of 12 gauge car­tridges val­ued at $450; and 150 rounds of 9 mm am­mu­ni­tion.

One home­own­er, who spoke on be­half of the res­i­dents in the gat­ed com­mu­ni­ty, ques­tioned how the ban­dits gained ac­cess to the up­scale de­vel­op­ment. She said the ban­dits would have had to have the se­cu­ri­ty code to en­ter and ex­it the gat­ed com­pound and ques­tioned how they would have been able to ac­cess such in­for­ma­tion.

The woman said the res­i­dents are fear­ful about who else has the con­fi­den­tial in­for­ma­tion.

Po­lice processed the scene and as­sured that work­able prints had been found.
