The men stole her $1,200 gold chain and pendant, her $2,000 cell phone, as well as her VISA Gold  card and driver’s permit, $220, before jumping into her BMW and speeding off. Officers from San Fernando CID began investigations, and later found the car abandoned at Papourie Road, Duncan Village. The car was towed back to the San Fernando Police station and check for fingerprints. PC Harrysingh is continuing investigations.
