Di­rec­tor of Crime Stop­pers TT, Dar­rin Carmichael, is con­tin­u­ing to stress the im­por­tance of air horns as de­vices in com­mu­ni­ty-lev­el crime-fight­ing ini­tia­tives, as Carlsen Field res­i­dents thwart­ed a home in­va­sion as it hap­pened ear­ly on Mon­day morn­ing.

Po­lice said a 53-year-old poul­try farmer left his home just af­ter 5 am to tend to live­stock when he was con­front­ed by three ban­dits, two of whom were armed with cut­lass­es, while the third had a gun.

The ban­dits tied the man’s hands and forced him back to the house to steal $400 from his wal­let.
