The incident allegedly occurred some time after 11 pm on July 25th.
According to reports, the elderly victim had secured her home for the evening and was lying in bed listening to the radio when three armed men forced their way inside the dwelling.
The suspects, all approximately 5 feet tall, were dressed in dark clothing with ski masks covering their faces, allegedly entered her bedroom and brandished firearms while demanding money.
“She became fearful for her life,” sources indicate, leading the woman to hand over her purse containing an undisclosed sum of money.
The armed intruders then allegedly ransacked the bedroom and stole four gold chains, four gold bracelets, and one iPhone before fleeing the property.
Initial investigations revealed that the perpetrators reportedly gained entry by forcing open the kitchen door on the west side of the residence. A search was conducted for both the suspects and stolen items; however, the men were not located and none of the jewelry was recovered.
The total value of the stolen articles has not yet been determined.
This incident highlights growing concerns about crimes targeting elderly residents who live alone. Authorities are continuing their investigation and urge anyone with information about this alleged robbery to contact police immediately.

Them na hab no heart ..thats y I’m not gonna have one anytime them try come in my dwelling ..n me done talk cause 81 yrs old in her comfortable bed ..they brave they know who they goin in on trust me..
When you talk about the crime situation here the idiots in office keep comparing Antigua to other Caribbean countries talking about we are safer than them as if that is supposed comfort us. The baboon with responsible for this portfolio should be sent packing soonest
This says it all. Where do we go from here. 81 year old woman, is robbed in her own house at GUN point. Do the police think it’s time yet to go after the big fish? If this isn’t a wake up call, then what will be.
Mark my words, this is going to be the new normal. Old people secure your homes and stay safe, they now know you are easy targets.
Where exactly did this happen?
Clearly we have a cadre of criminals and bandits in this land who have no regard for anyone regardless of their age, sex, and physical condition. It’s like no one is immune to their dreadful activities.
Something no feel right bout this story. Was this in the country area or city? five days after! and I guess everyone in Wadadli knows the direct number to the police, since you usually tell us to contact a specific police station.
Chaming news for all us
MR PM.81.YEARS..THESE NASTY LITTLE DUTTY NASTY LITTLE BOYS. NEED TO BE KILL N PUT IN THEIR GRAVE. NO HEART 81. THEY NEED TO BE FIND NOW ..YOU ALL GONE TOO FAR..
@ Carvaa
It no look right, it no feel right either. The Prime Minister runs all the ministries, he loves to denigrate people but only has spite for people who are in opposition to anything he does; he has a minister in charge of keeping this nation safe and he has no clue as to what the hell he is doing, the PM should have moved him a long time ago but I understand he’s afraid to, I guess we know the reason but enough has become too much
Might as bring back Ray John so he can run the task force how it supposed to be run. The Police commissioners and other police leaders are weak.
Authorities want anyone with info to come forward. Ok, sure. But how about providing more info. Where did the incident take place?
If the perpetrators were about 5ft tall this means they were likely juvenile… but before that.. where did the incident take place??
Right now this sounds like some forgotten granny looking attention decided to make up a story of how she narrowly escaped death.
Need to shoot some more of you idiots.
” The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing”.
They claim, is that Antigua has “Good leaders”, in fact, many in his party claimed that the ABLP is the best government to ever run Antigua.
Well folks, if this is what goodness looks like, I certainly wouldn’t want to see the badness.
But don’t worry folks (not that I want it) but Antigua is not far from Haiti with this current state and trend it’s on.
Why? Because we have terrible leaders in Government right now, all across the board. When the head rotten, the body stinks!
We all talking about leaders and they are not good and don’t know what they are doing, but NOBODY wants to hold their parents accountable.
Another victim of the growing gun crimes on this tiny island, yet I’ve just read a “sponsored” feature mentioning how safe Antigua has become on this very ANR platform.
I’m at a complete loss as to how this research and data was reached. Especially for those of us currently living here witnessing the growth in criminal activities.
Was this research sponsored by a conglomerate of hotelier’s in the Caribbean region? This I don’t know, but what I do know is that crime in most categories is growing right here right now in Antigua.
I’m hoping that the 81-year-old lady makes a full recovery and the perpetrator is caught and brought to full justice.
So why we not seeing where this robbery took place, is it a secret where it happen
FC.
A team is only as good as it’s leaders. Just look at Westindies cricket. So tell me why you think parenting has suffered? Are they just bad people, or Maybe just maybe, could it be because are leaders have failed them. Failed them Socially and economically, leaving them scrapping to survive just to feed these same kids, leaving no time to nurture them. My friend FC, think deeper than the surface. Cause and Effect
