Royal Gardens Home Invasion Reported in Social Media Post
A home invasion involving an armed assault has been reported in the Royal Gardens area, bordering Hodges Bay and Cedar Grove, according to a post circulating on social media.
The incident is said to have occurred around 7:00pm, when a family had just sat down to dinner. The post claims that three masked young men, believed to be between 15 and 17 years old, forced their way into the home and attacked the father, allegedly striking him with a firearm.
The victims were reportedly tied up and robbed of several personal items before the suspects fled the scene on foot. It was further claimed that police responded quickly to the incident.
At the time of writing, there has been no official confirmation from the police regarding the details of the report, including the age of the suspects or the extent of the injuries sustained.
The post has sparked concern among residents, with comparisons drawn to a series of home invasions that occurred around 2014. The author of the post warned that successful robberies can sometimes lead to copycat crimes.
Police have not yet issued a public statement, and investigations are understood to be ongoing. Members of the public are being urged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

This is getting totally ridiculous now.
You are telling me that a family are settling down in their homes, and this brazen robbery takes place? It seems like inmates have taken over the asylum.
Gaston Browne needs to reassure the nation as to how to deal with these crimes before citizens fight back with equal force.
WHY THE ONGOING SILENCE PRIME MINISTER?
You’ve reached out to the criminal fraternity and they are ignoring you. In your next move against them, there must be no more pussy-footing.
They don’t care for people life or limb…
Commissioner good day!!! This is waaaaay out a hand now Sir. If you need resources please let the AG and the PM know. I know you love the word of God and wish that no one should perish but that all should come to repentance. BUT, no one comes unless the spirit first draws them. Nuff a dem get drawn but nah listen.. Some of these tekkers need to be put down!!!
The police only probes with a fork stick. They don’t investigate forensically.
Royal Gardens??? Hmmmmm that is where TREVOR WALKER LIVES YET HE BADMIMDED SELF KEEPS BARBUDANS IN A CHOKEHOLD. He has house and land in Antigua, but wants to block Antiguans from owning land in the CONSTITUENCY of Barbuda
This is very worrying. They even broke into my house to rob me. I left my house at 12 in the afternoon. And they came in, they were trying to kick me out, and thank God I got out, otherwise they would have killed me. Personally, I think they should kill him because they only come in for two things: to kill or to kill him. And these are two robberies that have been committed against me, one in December 23rd and the other on January 5th, 26th.
