NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A security video captures the terrifying moments of a broad-daylight robbery at a family-owned tuck shop situated at a Sutton Street home, off Kemp Road.
The footage on social media shows the homeowner and four others sitting under the carport, engaged in a casual conversation, when an armed man enters the yard unannounced and holds a woman at gunpoint, demanding she hand over her belonging.
Within hours, both the video and a snapshot of the suspect began circulating widely on social media.
One day after the ordeal, a family member and eyewitness who asked to remain anonymous for his safety spoke with us.
He says he was next door when he spotted someone who immediately set off alarm bells.
Witness –
“… I saw the strange guy come walking on the hill ’cause I didn’t know him and I just felt weird in the spirit. I started to notice him and I guess he felt me noticing him, and so he is staring at me and I was staring back at him [sic],” he said.
He says his instincts were right, the man greeted him, then continued into the family’s yard where the robbery unfolded all within moments.
Still too shaken up to speak on camera, the home owners told us that the suspect grabbed a purse that contained personal items.
They believe the robbery may have been planned and possibly set up by someone who knows the family.
Witness –
“ No one in this area would even consider doing something like that, at least personally, but then obviously they thought about it ’cause this, the gentleman had too much, he was fed too much life and real information, so you had to be…well informed and only could be somebody who was known to the family [sic],” they said.
While no one was physically harmed, the emotional impact remains.
