Two elderly men were beaten and robbed by bandits in separate incidents, hours apart on Sunday.
In the most recent attack, a 71-year-old Barataria man was bound, beaten and robbed when three bandits stormed his home at around 11.30 pm. Police said the man was in the kitchen of his Eighth Street home when the bandits confronted him, stealing his cellphone and $10,000 in cash.
The attackers then led the man to the bathroom, tied his hands, and beat him before locking him inside. They also stole the man’s black Hyundai Tucson, $20,000 in cash and US $1,500 from a drawer in the house before fleeing. The man managed to free himself and reported the incident.
