Three men staged a daring early morning bank robbery; one was armed with a gun and the other two with cutlasses.

Police reports indicate the Republic Bank branch in Point Fortin had just opened for business at about 8 am on Friday morning when the 3 armed men walked in.

The men who were said to be dressed in track suits ordered customers to lie on the floor.

They walked up to a teller pulled out their guns and demanded money.

Police reports indicate the men made off with $60,000.00 in cash.

On exiting the bank the men then hijacked a motorist of his blue Nissan Navara Vehicle.

The men then sped off onto a side street where they abandoned the vehicle and stole another before making their getaway.

Police are now combing the south west peninsular along with the Canine Unit and National Security Helicopters for the three suspects.

funny thing is just before Christmas I was in the bank and while waiting I wondered if people in Trinidad mad enuff to rob banks

[Habit7]

Long time I havent heard of a bank robbery in T&T. If these guys are professionals they should be docking into Pedernales, Venezuela right now. If they still in Trinidad, they will get caught.

[webmaster1]

not really...they might not get caught...only if the police have professional help

[nemisis]

of course they in Venezuela why else rob point bank... by they i meant the guy with the gun, expect to find the bodies of the other two

I thought it was a black Navara. They found it by the agricultural area.

I was Santa Flora and a police van had siren on and was trying to speed past a bit of traffic. In the Connector Road (Field Road) a few minutes later I saw them parked facing the road as if to see vehicles coming over the hill.
Abt 40mins after had 4 police vans in a road near the agri lands. Had helicopter around too.

[Gem_in_i]

Oh and less than 2 hrs later I heard the police caught 3 of the bandits.

[Habit7]

Then I guess they are not professionals. Sometimes you wonder how if you attempted what these bandits do, how efficient you will be eh.

I'm from Point Fortin, my lil cuz wrks there, she's pretty shaken up right now. thinking about leaving her job there caz it's d 2nd time in 3 yrs, yes 2nd time... All the other banks in Piont Fortin has armed security but the branch manager doesn't want armed security, say's she don't want no shoot out, never mind almost every other bank has them and every single one of those criminals got their piece. So unarmed Piont Fortin Republic branch makes an easy target for those criminals. They need to beef up security there seriously, the money is ensured so the banks don't loose financially but they got to stop posing as such an easy target... and about d van it was a black Navara and the reason y it was ditched was because there was a baby inside. As far as i know though the baby is safe. Criminals are criminals, pro's or not, i hope they do get caught and prosecuted to d full extent of the law...
