Poice investigators are looking into the home invasion in El Dorado at the home of former lecturer at The University of the West Indies and consultant Kerry Rai.
The incident reportedly took place about 3 p.m. on Friday.
At the time Rai, his wife and two daughters were at their home along Henry Street, El Dorado, when they heard water running from a tap outside.
One of the daughters went to turn the tap off; however, she was confronted by a masked man armed with a hammer.
She was then assaulted and forced into the home. Three other masked individuals entered the premises, announced a hold-up, and ordered the occupants of the home onto the ground threatening the family to hand over cash and valables.
They secured a quantity of cash, jewelry, and other valuables and then escaped in a white Wingroad vehicle.
The police were notified and officers from the Tunapuna Police Station responded.
