Gunmen rob man of $150,000 in jewellery at Häagen-Dazs

A man was threatened with death at gunpoint and robbed of jewelry valued at $150,000—and $2,000 in cash—while eating ice cream with a female friend at a Port of Spain business on Monday night.

The 34-year-old victim told police he was seated in the outdoor dining area of Häagen-Dazs, at the corner of Dundonald Street and Queen’s Park West, when he was approached by two men around 10 p.m.

Police said one of the men, who appeared to be in his twenties, pulled a firearm from his waistband, chambered a round, and threatened to kill the victim. The second man then took the victim’s jewelry and other personal belongings.
