The men fled after ransacking the home and assaulting the occupants.

The victims later managed to free themselves and alerted the police. About 22:40hrs the same night, three men, two of whom were armed with handguns robbed Indranie Jotis, Vishal Ramlochan called Steve, and Nicholas Ramlochan, called Paul at their Nandram Street, Cumberland house.

The victims were under the house playing music when the suspects pounced on them demanding money and jewellery, discharging several rounds in the process.

They ordered the victims to lie on the ground and robbed them of a gold band, one DVD player and a cellular phone before escaping.

So far there have been no reported arrests.
