Police in Trinidad are continuing investigations into yesterday’s brazen robbery of a G4S Security armoured vehicle and its four armed guards which have described by eyewitnesses as being “like a scene out of an action movie.”
According to a police report, at about noon the armoured vehicle had backed up towards Republic Bank’s ATM machine at St. Helena, Piarco, when three masked gunmen ambushed its four security guards.
Police said the men announced a holdup and seized the weapons belonging to the G4S guards. They then stole an undisclosed amount of cash stored in money bags and made their escape in a silver Nissan X-trail.
Investigating officers said the getaway vehicle, which bore no licence number plates, was later recovered abandoned in a bushy area in Las Lomas.
CCTV footage of the robbery was retrieved by investigating officers.
Preliminary investigations have since pointed to an employee of the security company who police suspect could be involved in the daring heist.
