KFC worker abducted, ordered to open vault

A FEMALE supervisor of KFC, Arima, has reported to the police that an unknown man abducted her from her St Augustine home and took her back to her workplace where she was ordered to remove over $5,000 from the restaurant’s vault. Natalie Caruth, of Bryce Street, told the police that she was asleep at the time and was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on her door. She got up to investigate and the man then allegedly took her. Caruth told the police that the man was not armed with a firearm, but informed her that he had one and also threatened her life. The KFC supervisor said that the bandit was able to identify who she was and where she worked and also what position she held at her workplace, located on Queen Street.  The incident reportedly occurred just after 3 am yesterday.

After the incident, police said Caruth told them the man escaped  on foot.  She then made a report to the Arima Criminal Investigations Department after which a party of officers including PCs Samuel and Pamphille visited the scene. Acting Insp Michael Modeste of the St Joseph CID also visited the scene. Senior officers told Newsday yesterday that it was one of  the strangest reports they have had in a very long time, but that the matter will be thoroughly investigated. A woman, who identified herself as a manager at KFC, said that no one was at the KFC branch at the time the robbery occurred. The worker said she was not going to talk about it since the matter is under investigation. “It is always wise to wait until the investigation is over,” the worker said.
