Penal Home Invasion: Bandits With Cutlasses Rob Family of $15K In Cash, Vehicle, Other Valuables
A family has been left traumatized following a harrowing home invasion and robbery by cutlass-wielding bandits at their residence in Penal on Tuesday night (13th January, 2026)
According to reports, a father locked and secured his home on Rochard Road and retired to bed, around 9:30 PM. However, he was subsequently awakened by his daughter’s screams, shortly before 11:00 PM. Upon investigating, he saw four (4) masked men armed with cutlasses inside the living room.
The suspects demanded cash and jewellery and tied up the father, his daughter and four (4) other relatives. They then proceeded to ransack the house, stealing $15,000 in cash, cellphones and jewellery, before making their escape in the father’s white Nissan Wingroad.
Police were notified and responded to the scene.
Investigations are continuing by Officers of the Barrackpore Police Station.
More on this as it becomes available.
