Police are investigating a home invasion at Penny Lane, Upper Fort Road, after two masked men armed with machetes reportedly robbed residents during an early morning attack on May 5.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the intruders entered the home around 2 a.m. through a window that was not locked before confronting a male occupant in his bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man told police one of the suspects demanded a shoulder bag containing cash, identification cards, a cellular phone and a vehicle key. A struggle reportedly followed while a second intruder dragged a female occupant into a hallway.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The woman told investigators she was robbed of her iPhone 15 Pro and EC$350 after being threatened by a masked man armed with a machete.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Police said the suspects escaped with cash, phones and other personal items before officers arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators later observed signs of forced entry and processed the property for evidence. No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.<\/p>
