Trinidad cricket office robbed by armed men

The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board came under a frightening criminal attack on Friday after armed bandits stormed its Couva offices and escaped with thousands of dollars in cash during a daylight robbery.

The incident unfolded at the TTCB headquarters along Clifford Roach Drive in Balmain, Couva, where employees were confronted by gunmen in what a brazen and coordinated operation.

The attackers struck around 1:30pm, catching staff off guard. The armed men held employees at gunpoint before targeting a safe containing cash belonging to the cricket board.

After securing around TT$15,000 (KY$1,840) the suspects fled the scene in a waiting vehicle before law enforcement officers could intervene. The terrifying encounter left workers badly shaken.

The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board strongly condemned the attack. “No employee should have to endure the terror and trauma inflicted by these gunmen in the course of simply carrying out their du ties,” their statement read.

“This disturbing incident is another stark reminder that crime and criminality continue to threaten the safety, wellbeing and peace of law-abiding citizens and institutions across our nation.”
