Family tied up, beaten and robbed at Cottage, Mahaicony
A family at Cottage, Mahaicony is now in a traumatised state after being robbed, beaten and tied up by five armed bandits on Sunday night. The gunmen then made off with a substantial amount of cash and jewellery.

According to Darshanand Manohar, at about 8:30 hrs, five unmasked men entered his family’s home and terrorised the four occupants for half hour while demanding cash and jewellery.

Manohar, a son, who is expected to be married in another two weeks, was not at home when the bandits struck. His father, Eldon Chisholm, 44; mother, Monica Monohar, 44; uncle, Terrence Cuchit and brother, Andre Hardat endured severe beatings from the bandits, who were not satisfied with their loot.

Chisholm said he sustained injuries to his head and body as the bandits had kicked him several times while he was tied up. The family expressed dissatisfaction at the Police response. Shortly after the robbery, the family reported the matter to the Police at Mahaica, but they were not visited by any ranks until the following day.
