Two days following the brazen home invasion and robbery of former Crime Chief, Assistant Commissioner Leslie James and his family; two suspects have been detained.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed this development and informed that the men were detained on Tuesday evening after they were turned in to police by family members.
The robbery was committed on James and his family in the wee hours of Sunday last, when three men broke into their 453 Hendy Street, Block X, Liliendaal home. The three men suspected of carrying out the attack carted off almost $400,000 worth of jewellery – including two wedding bands and an engagement ring – belonging to James and his wife Jacqueline.
James and his family, including his son and daughter, retired to bed just about midnight on Saturday and were awakened three hours later by noise emanating from the bottom flat of the house.
Upon investigating, James discovered that three men were in his home, one of whom was armed and heading up his staircase. However, given his training, James encouraged his family to remain calm and advised the men to take what they wanted and leave.
The men, whom he said obviously did not intend to harm anyone, relieved himself and his wife of a total of four rings. Shattering a window to affect an escape they also picked up a stereo set, which they dropped on the roadway after one belatedly, announced that it was the “crime chief’s home” that they had robbed.
