The men reportedly proceeded to relieve her of a quantity of cash, one cellular phone and a device before escaping in an awaiting vehicle.
An All-Points Bulletin was transmitted from the Command Centre and officers were able to intercept the vehicle in the Caroni district shortly after.
The three suspects were arrested and the stolen items recovered.
