A 10-year-old boy was held at gunpoint and terrorised during a brazen daytime robbery at his family home in Carnbee on Friday morning.

The child was alone in his bedroom around 10 a.m. when two masked intruders forced their way into the house. One of the men, described as dark in complexion and dressed in a blue jacket with grey stripes, brandished what appeared to be a firearm and poked the young boy with it, instilling fear.

The intruders proceeded to ransack several rooms of the house. Among the stolen items were a gold chain with a teddy bear pendant, a pair of Jordan sneakers valued at $2,500, and two pairs of Nike Air Force sneakers. In a bedroom belonging to an adult, the suspects took a box-link gold chain worth $12,000, a gold wristband with the inscription “Anim”, and several rings with Islamic and gem designs valued at a total of $8,000. They also stole $5,000 in cash.
