TWO Chinese citizens, a man and a woman, were held hostage during a home invasion in Aranguez on September 10.
The victims, who own a Chinese restaurant on the Aranguez Main Road, were entering their home around 9 pm when three men accosted them.
One was armed with a cutlass.
The men forced the couple into the house and demanded money from them.
The bandits stole $4,000 cash and a Samsung S23 Ultra phone worth $7,000 from the man. They then stole a Huawei phone valued at $3,000 from the woman.
They then tied the couple’s hands with tie straps and ransacked the house. While searching, they found $30,000 cash in one room and $20,000 cash in a wardrobe in a bedroom.
The suspects then took the keys to the victims’ Toyota Aqua and stole it to escape.
Police obtained CCTV footage which they believe will assist in their investigation.
