A SINGLE mother living in the Golden Fleece Estate, Region Two, was robbed in the early hours of Friday morning by two masked individuals armed with a shotgun.

The intrusion occurred around 02:00 hours. The men gained access to the woman’s house by removing louvre panes from a window at the back of the property.

The victim, Prampattie Mawram, also known as ‘Rupa,’ was asleep when she was awakened by one of the intruders, who threatened her with the gun and instructed her to remain silent. He used a piece of her clothing that was on the clothesline to make a mask.

Mawram recounted being forced to remove her gold bangle and earrings and give up her purse.

She told this publication that one of the men spoke English along with a foreign language. They both were wearing gloves and threatened to shoot her if she raised an alarm.

Despite her pleas, the robbers demanded cash, her gold chain, and additional cell phones. As they made their demands, she managed to scream forcing them to flee. They made good their escape with her jewellery, purse, mobile phones and personal documents.

Following their departure, she ran though the village begging for help.

This publication observed visible footprints in the yard at the back of the property.

The matter was reported to the Anna Regina Police Station and police are currently conducting investigations.
