POLICE are investigating an armed robbery committed on 45-year-old Maressa Gilbert Mohabir of Section ‘D’ Sophia, who was attacked and robbed of her motorcycle and other valuables on Thursday night at West Palm Street, Lamaha Springs.

The incident occurred at about 22:10 hours, when Mohabir was riding her black and red Haojue motorcycle, registration number CN5875, valued at $225,000. She was also carrying a handbag that contained a Samsung cellphone valued at $30,000, $25,000 in cash, ATM cards, her ID card, and her driver’s licence.

According to the police, the victim was travelling east along West Palm Street when two identifiable men of African descent approached her on a motorcycle. One of the men, armed with a cutlass, dismounted their bike and walked toward Mohabir.

He reportedly pulled the cutlass from his waistband, held it to her neck, and took her handbag. He then pushed her off her motorcycle and rode away with it, while his accomplice followed on the other motorcycle.

Mohabir later went to the North Ruimveldt Police Station and reported the incident. The suspects have not yet been apprehended, and investigations are ongoing.
