Robbery Attempt at Massy Stores Maraval; Staff Unharmed, Investigation Ongoing

On July 23, 2025, an attempted robbery occurred at Massy Stores in Maraval, Trinidad, early in the morning before the store opened. An unidentified suspect gained access to the premises, but fortunately, no customers were present, and no injuries were reported. The incident resulted in the theft of a small amount of cash, as confirmed by an official statement from Massy Stores. The store reassured the public that all team members were unharmed and expressed support for affected staff while addressing misinformation circulating online regarding the incident.

Massy clarified that they operate with minimal cash on site as a standard security measure and confirmed their cooperation with the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), which is currently investigating the matter. The store declined to provide further details while the investigation is ongoing.

This incident occurs amid a broader context of rising crime in Trinidad, which is currently under a state of emergency due to concerns over gang-related activities, including robberies and kidnappings. Public anxiety around safety in retail environments has intensified, leading to mixed reactions on social media. While some commended Massy for their quick response and transparency, others called for enhanced security measures. Rumors regarding the robbery have circulated online, prompting Massy to issue a public clarification. As of now, the TTPS has not confirmed any arrests, but the investigation is actively ongoing, with surveillance footage and witness reports being examined.
