A gang of five bandits rampaged through Budhan Housing Scheme, New Amsterdam, on Sunday, during the wee hours of the morning and two of the alleged perpetrators have been since arrested.
Oliver Ross of Lot 39 Budhan Housing Scheme said three men broke into his home around 4.30 am on Sunday, while two stood guard downstairs. He recalled that two of the men were armed with guns, while the third had a cutlass.
According to Ross, the men ordered him to bring “money and jewellery, everything you got.” He said he pleaded with them, that he was just a middle-class man, now building life, to no avail.
Eventually, he told them to “take things light, whatever you want, whatever you see, take.”
