A reported series of home invasions in Swetes ended with a high-speed police chase, a vehicle crash and the apprehension of suspects, according to information shared by a resident.

The resident said intruders forced their way into a home shortly before noon on Monday by damaging the back door’s deadbolt while one of the homeowner’s daughters was inside.

The suspects allegedly demanded money and gold before fleeing with EC$165 in cash and an iPhone.

The homeowner later learned that at least two other homes in the village were also targeted, while a neighbour confirmed their residence had also been robbed.

Later that evening, police reportedly pursued the suspects through Swetes. During the chase, the suspects allegedly crashed a silver vehicle into a fence before fleeing on foot. They were subsequently apprehended by police.

Police have not yet issued an official statement confirming the reported incidents or arrests.

The resident said they were thankful that their daughter was not physically harmed and appealed to anyone with information that could assist the investigation to contact the police.
