The items that the bandits left behind after Monday’s robbery at Middle Road, La Penitence

POLICE are on the lookout for four armed bandits, who managed to evade them after committing a robbery at a Middle Road, La Penitence home, in the wee hours of the morning Monday.According to the police, the victim, 25-year-old Komattie Kissoon, was in the lower flat of the two-storey house around 02:00hrs, resting on a chair, when she was confronted by the men who, at gunpoint, demanded cash and valuables.
After giving them the $4,500 in cash that she had, a cell-phone and a handbag of documents, they left; and as soon as she felt it was safe enough, she raised an alarm.
The police arrived in the nick of time to see the suspects attempting to flee the scene. They gave chase, but the bandits managed to escape by jumping a fence.
Upon scouring the area, the ranks found a .32 revolver, a black toque, and a yellow glove.
