Three bandits and a woman terrorised a 63 year-old real estate agent and his two daughters for more than two hours on Tuesday evening.

The bandits abducted Azard Hosein of Five Rivers, Arouca, when he went to drop off a resume for a woman at a house in Arima around 6.30 p.m.

As Hosein entered the house, three men who were inside held him and began to beat him.

The bandits robbed him of his bank card and ordered he give them his pin number.

Two of the bandits and the woman left in a car to go to a bank in the area, leaving one of the bandits to guard him.

They withdrew $3,500 from his account.

The attackers then headed to Hosein’s home at Arouca where they broke into his house and ransacked the place.

Hosein’s two daughters, aged 21 and 22, were on their way at the same time to visit their father.

As they got inside, the two bandits held them and terrorised them for about an hour before leaving.

The two bandits and the woman returned to the house where Hosein was kept and took him to the Blanchisseuse Road, Arima, where they threw him out of the vehicle.

A passing motorist rescued the hapless businessman and took him to the Arima Police Station where he reported the incident.

Following intensive investigations by detectives from the Arima and Arouca Stations, headed by Acting Inspector John Daniel, Sergeant Ashby, Cpl. Wayne Winston and Constables Weekes and Gangadeen, two men and a woman were held for questioning.

Police are working on a theory that Hosein was “set up” by a woman to be abducted and robbed.
