A man was forced to withdraw money from an ATM machine, while the woman he was with was held at gunpoint by two armed men who broke into a house in Harmony Hill.<\/p>\nA man was forced to withdraw money from an ATM machine, while the woman he was with was held at gunpoint by two armed men who broke into a house in Harmony Hill.<\/p>\n
The Harmony Hill resident, accompanied by a female friend, went to his daughter’s house to feed a dog as his daughter was apparently out of town.<\/p>\n
Arriving at the house, they noticed that the door lock had been tampered with.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, two armed men ordered the couple into the house.<\/p>\n
The woman was held at gunpoint by one robber, while the man was forced to drive to an ATM machine to withdraw cash by the other armed man.<\/p>\n
Typical of Bahamian banks, the ATM machine was broken.\u00a0 So, the robber made the man drive to another machine and make three withdrawals, each for $300.<\/p>\n
As the man was driving the robber back to the house, a quick-thinking neighbor spotted the man driving and saw another man’s head pop up from the back seat.<\/p>\n
He followed the car back to the home and saw the robbers loading a flat screen TV into a Mitsubishi Lancer.<\/p>\n
Thinking all that was suspicious, the neighbor alerted the newly formed “Flying Squad”, a neighborhood watch group, and also called police.<\/p>\n
Two police cars arrived quickly and, with the neighborhood watch group, blocked the road.<\/p>\n
Getting nervous, the two robbers held the woman at gunpoint and told the man to go outside and tell everyone that all was fine.<\/p>\n
Moments later, both the man and the woman came running out of the house and said the robbers had run out the back door.<\/p>\n
Police pursued the men but did not catch them.<\/p>\n
Later, they did pick up a man for questioning but it is not clear if he was one of the two armed robbers.<\/p>\n
This alarming incident is only one of several such crimes occuring in the once safe neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Car thefts, assaults, robberies, home invasions and burglaries are becoming weekly events.<\/p>\n
Police say they do not have enough cars or officers to combat the ever-growing levels of crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
