A 34‑year‑old man was robbed at the Häagen‑Dazs on Dundonald Street and Queen’s Park West in Port of Spain on Monday night, around 10 p.m. While he and a female friend ate ice cream in the outdoor dining area, two gunmen approached him.
One of the men pulled a firearm, chambered a round, and threatened to kill the victim. The second gunman seized his jewelry and personal items, including two gold chains each worth $50,000, a gold band inscribed “1 GMB” ($50,000), a wallet with $2,000 in cash, a driver’s permit and a national ID.
Police describe the first suspect as mixed descent, short, stocky, light‑complexioned with short nappy hair, wearing a white T‑shirt and red hat. The second suspect is African descent, about six feet tall, slim, dark‑complexioned, wearing a black hat, black T‑shirt and black pants.
After the robbery the men fled through the eastern entrance, headed south along Dundonald Street and then east along Albion Street. Police visited the scene with the victim, reviewed CCTV footage and requested the footage to aid in identifying the perpetrators. No injuries were reported.
The victim, a resident of Upper Bournes Road, St James, has not been harmed and is cooperating with investigators.
