Of­fi­cers of the Port of Spain Di­vi­sion are in­ves­ti­gat­ing four sep­a­rate rob­beries re­port­ed across the cap­i­tal on Sat­ur­day.

In the first in­ci­dent, a woman parked her Nis­san Navara along Flood Street around 5 am and went ex­er­cis­ing. When she re­turned two hours lat­er, she found the front pas­sen­ger win­dow smashed. An iPhone 11 Pro, charg­ing block and a Sam­sung bag were miss­ing.

Around 1:15 pm, a de­liv­ery dri­ver parked his truck on Wright­son Road and stepped away briefly. When he re­turned less than an hour lat­er, he dis­cov­ered the door lock bro­ken and sev­er­al items miss­ing, in­clud­ing cloth­ing, dish­es, tele­vi­sions, pots, a PlaySta­tion 4 and a red BMX moun­tain bike.

At about 1:30 pm, a woman arranged to sell her iPhone 15 on Park Street near Re­pub­lic Bank. She was ap­proached by a man who hand­ed her an en­ve­lope be­fore snatch­ing the phone and run­ning to­wards east Port of Spain. The en­ve­lope was lat­er found to con­tain scrap pa­per.

Then, at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 2:40 pm, a man pur­chas­ing ba­nanas at the cor­ner of Char­lotte Street and In­de­pen­dence Square was at­tacked from be­hind and re­lieved of his gold chains. When he con­front­ed the sus­pect, three oth­er men joined in as­sault­ing him as the at­tack­er fled.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
