And shortly after an unknown assailant erupted from the bushes with a firearm and demanded the two victims, understood to be a male and a female, not to make any sound and give him all their money.

Fearing for their lives, the 21-year-old victims complied with the demands and lay on the ground as the armed robber stole four gold rings valued at approximately $4,000 TT from one victim, and $300 TT along with a bank card from the other.
