Bajan police on hunt for two bandits

(Barbados Nation) police have launched a manhunt for two bandits believed to be responsible for at least four armed robberies in St George and Christ Church.

The latest robbery occurred in the early hours of yesterday when 44-year-old Martin Bynoe was shot and robbed at his Yorkshire/Grove, Christ Church home.

According to reports, two masked men – one carrying a shotgun, the other a knife – broke and entered Bynoe’s home, stealing jewellery and an undisclosed amount of cash. Bynoe was wounded in a struggle with the armed bandits. His wife and daughter were tied up by the assailants.

Crime chief Assistant Commissioner Seymour Cumberbatch said that as a result of the recent attacks, a select team of detectives had been assigned to the case.
