A family of seven from south Trinidad was violently awakened in their home by gunmen who pretended to be police.

Police said the ordeal happened around 3 am on November 4 when the family, including five children, was awakened by shouts of “Police! Police!” outside their home along the SS Erin Road in Phillipine, the same community where Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC lives.

According to reports, six masked gunmen kicked open the front door and stormed the house.
