Rattan’s owner, family, robbed during home invasion
https://guardian.co.tt/news/rattans-owner-family-robbed-during-home-invasion-6.2.1556297.c227ba58f9
After hog-tying and robbing businessman Mohan Rattan, two gunmen escaped by sea, taking with them two bags laden with cash and valuables.
The robbery occurred around 4 am at the businessman’s mansion at Sunset Cove, La Romain.
Police said Rattan, the owner of Rattan’s Freezone, was at home with his wife when the bandits entered the property. Believing the men were employees, Rattan opened the gates, the source added.
The sprawling sea-front property is usually manned by pit bulls but the source told Guardian Media that the dogs were inside the kennel at the time of the robbery.
The robbers removed the barbed wires from the eastern side of the property and jumped over a wall. After they entered the house, Rattan offered all of his possessions to the thieves in exchange that they not hurt his family.
The gunmen did not harm the couple but stacked the cash and valuables in the bags before escaping through an exit leading to the sea.
When Guardian Media visited the scene, the main entrance doors were closed. No one was in the guard booth. Neighbours said they heard the alarm ring off at 4 am.
Since the incident, residents have started taking extra precautions. Rattan’s establishment hires hundreds of employees in his stores, located across the country.
San Fernando police are continuing investigations.

First thing I said when I saw the house.
A very proper set up. Opening gate at 4:00 a.m. because he thought they were employees.
Then making their escape by sea.
A police report stated that at around 4.20 a.m. on Monday, the victim opened the garage door to allow a friend who was on her way to his residence, when he was confronted by two men.

A alarm system with armed security response would be a very wise investment right now.. even if you can only afford it for 3 to 4 months
This Christmas season and going into carnival going to be extremely bad

Trinidad & Tobago Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Using Social Media to Solicit Sexual Exploitation Material from Teen Girl
MIAMI – A Lake Worth, Fla., man who pretended to be a teenage boy to get a 13-year-old girl in South Carolina to send him nude videos of herself was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release on charges of production of child sexual exploitation material.
Beginning in 2020, Olinto Lynch, a.k.a. “Olintonaruto,” communicated with at least two 13-year-old girls on a social media application. Lynch told the girls he was a teenager and used sexually charged conversations to request things from them. He promised gifts and preyed upon their troubled lives. His relationship with one of the girls lasted more than a year and he even drove to South Carolina to meet her. The second relationship lasted several weeks and he convinced the girl to produce images and inappropriate videos. This stopped when the second child’s mother uncovered the conversations and reported Lynch’s social media profile to the FBI.
Law enforcement officers executed a search warrant on Lynch’s social media account as well as his Lake Worth residence. There it was discovered that he was from Trinidad & Tobago and had been residing illegally in the United States since March 2020. Agents found sexual exploitation videos of the second girl on his phone, to which he confessed.
Juan Antonio Gonzalez, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and acting Special Agent in Charge Robert M. DeWitt, FBI Miami, announced the guilty plea.
FBI West Palm Beach investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Schiller prosecuted it. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Stone is handling asset forfeiture.
