Police are probing a violent home invasion in Hermitage Village, Macaulay, where two armed men tied up a family, assaulted a woman, and escaped with over $1.5 million in valuables along with the family’s vehicle.
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on Friday, when a 42-year-old woman arrived at her home and was ambushed in her garage by two men dressed in dark clothing, masks, and gloves.
One of the attackers pushed the woman against a water pump, injuring her right hand and left eye before forcing her up the stairs at knifepoint. The suspects used her keys to enter the house, where they tied her hands and those of her 14-year-old relative, who had been in the living room.
The two men then ransacked the home, stealing approximately $1.5 million in luxury watches, $130,000 in jewellery, $19,000, and US$2,000. A 78-year-old relative was robbed of $7,000 in cash from her bedroom.
The suspects then accessed the lower level of the building, which houses Tanty Jane Bar, and stole alcohol and ci******es valued at approximately $55,000, according to the proprietor.
The men escaped with the woman’s black Honda CR-V, registration PDW 9419.
