Diego woman assaulted, businessman’s gun stolen

OFFICERS of the Four Roads Police Station are investigating two separate reports, in which a 20-year-old Diego Martin woman was allegedly buggered by a man she knows and a businessman was robbed of his personal firearm.

In the buggering incident, police sources said around 10 pm Thursday a woman was approached by a man she knows at Cuthbert Circular, Diego Martin.  The man is alleged to have made sexual advances towards her, after which an altercation took place during which time the man is said to have beaten the woman. About ten minutes after, while the woman was on her way home, she was held and subsequently buggered by a man. 

The area was very dark, police said. A report was made and a party of officers from the Four Roads Police Station headed by acting Insp Roland Thomas and including Sgt Stephen Ramsubhag and PCs Vaughn Joseph, Broomes and Ramnarine visited the scene. About three hours earlier, the same party of officers were called out to investigate the theft of a firearm from a West Mall businessman. At the time of the incident, police said the man had just closed his business and was approaching his vehicle when he was confronted by three armed men. The men then robbed the businessman of his personal Smith and Wesson revolver as well as a cellphone and approximately TT$4,000. The assailants then fled the scene. PC Joseph is continuing investigations into the incident.
