A Siparia family of four was robbed in Morvant after arranging to purchase a vehicle from a man they met on Facebook Marketplace, who claimed to be a member of the TT Defence Force.

According to reports, the incident occurred around 2.30 pm on July 10 at Las Alturas, Morvant. The family had arranged to buy a silver Nissan Y12 Wingroad after communicating with the seller online.

On arrival at the agreed location, the primary victim, a 43-year-old tow truck driver, was on the phone with the alleged seller when a black Nissan Sylphy pulled up behind their vehicle. The victim told police he saw three men get out of the car and approach them.
