An assailant struck a pregnant Barrackpore woman in her abdomen during a home invasion last night.
The 30-year-old woman was at her home with her 39-year-old relative around 9:30 pm on Sunday 12 February 2023, when three men armed with guns stormed into the house.
They robbed the relative of two cell phones valued $1,600 and $2,300 and then struck the pregnant woman in her belly.
The suspects escaped in a white Honda Civic.
The pregnant woman was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital for treatment.
Police believe the suspects also tried to rob another woman ten minutes later. The 61-year-old woman was sitting in the driver's seat of a parked AD wagon along Rochard Douglas Road, Barrackpore around 9:40pm near a barbecue food outlet.
The woman said a white Honda Civic with three occupants pulled alongside her and a man came out and pointed a gun at her. She drove off and slammed into a vehicle. The suspect returned to the car which sped off.
In an earlier incident at around 10:30 am on Sunday, two women—ages 53 and 40 years—were at their market stall at Lower Barrackpore, Monkey Town opposite the recreation ground, when two men came out of a silver Almera registration.
Armed with firearms, they robbed the women of their jewellery and money.
They escaped in the car.
Investigations are continuing.
