A man has been jailed for 8.5 years after admitting to a violent robbery involving an elderly couple at their Villa home in 2022.
Rickardo Bussawan pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated robbery following the attack on James and Elizabeth Lewis on April 6.
Court records show that Bussawan, along with two accomplices, tied up the victims and their friend with duct tape before stealing valuables including $10,000 worth of jewelry, electronic devices, and cash.
The co-accused, Delon Wills and Michael Carr, will appear in court on February 3 to set trial dates. Bussawan’s sentence will run concurrently, with credit for time served.

The surname “Bussawan” is not a well known last name in Antigua and Barbuda. Immigration focus more on Antiguans and Barbudans who returning home either from vacation or for family emergency and vacation. They need to be focusing more on who they’re letting into the country and followed up that they go out as scheduled on their plane tickets. We need to be doing like Donald Trump tightening up our homeland and borders security.
One more criminal off the streets
I can’t help but feel that this incident highlights a larger issue of crime targeting vulnerable populations. More needs to be done to protect the elderly from these types of attacks, and the justice system should focus on prevention as well as punishment.”
The elderly couple deserves to feel safe in their own home, and it’s reassuring that the legal system is holding criminals accountable. Hopefully, this serves as a warning to others who might consider similar actions
