Alyce Glen doctor robbed of $130,000 jeep

A DOCTOR attached to the North-West Regional Health Authority and his family were held-up at gunpoint by bandits who forced the victims out of their vehicle moments after they arrived at their Alyce Glen, Petit Valley home on Tuesday night.

Western Division police have since issued an all points bulletin advising all police precincts to be on the lookout for a silver-green Suzuki Pajero jeep belonging to medical doctor Vikash Soorattan. According to police reports, around 11 pm on Tuesday, Dr Soorattan and his family had just pulled up at the front gate of their Alyce Glen home having returned from an engagement. As the doctor was about to open the front gate to drive his vehicle into the garage of the house, two masked, armed bandits jumped out of nearby bushes and held up the doctor. Dr Soorattan was relieved of $300 and a cellular phone by one of the bandits, while the other hustled the doctor’s family out of the vehicle. Both bandits then entered the jeep and sped off. A report was made to the Western Division police. Up to late yesterday, no arrests had been made and PC Linton is continuing investigations into the robbery.
