A YELLOWWOOD Park woman was attacked by a group of three knife-wielding suspects on her property recently.
“Blue Security units responded to the panic activation to discover that the victim had attempted to alert her domestic employee by driving onto her driveway, after spotting three trespassers around the side of the house,” said Blue Security community and media liaison officer, Andreas Mathios.
When she drove into the front yard in order to get her housekeeper, to activate the panic alarm, the three men advanced on her vehicle.
“The suspects proceeded to smash the vehicle’s front windscreen and dive into the car to grab her handbag. The woman’s children were in the vehicle at the time,” added Mathios.
The suspects fled with her bag which contained valuables like bank and credit cards, cash and two cellphones. One suspect was seen escaping in the direction of the railway line.
The resident was fortunate to only sustain minor injuries on one finger. The incident is being investigated by police.
