Around 8:55 am on Monday 10th May, 2021, a woman was about to enter a bank along Market Street Chaguanas, when a man allegedly held on to her right shoulder and announced a robbery. The assailant made attempts to take the woman’s handbag, but the woman resisted and was then shocked on the left side of her neck with a taser. The woman was pushed to the ground, then she was dragged a short distance away, during which she sustained minor injuries. The woman was then forcefully relieved of her handbag which allegedly contained $48,000, a government cheque for $2000, a gold chain valued $3000, a pair of gold anklets valued at $3,500, two fine gold chains valued at $1500, an ID card, Drivers’ Permit, a debit card and a Samsung cell phone.
