On March 29, an American couple in Grenada were robbed at gunpoint in their rental home. A few days prior to the incident the couple had notified the management of a missing light fixture in the unit. At approximately 11:30 a.m. on the day of the burglary, a Nicaraguan male in his late 20s (suspect) appeared at the front gate of the property stating that he was there to replace the light. The victim escorted the individual inside, where they inspected the fixture. The victim then began to escort the suspect outside to retrieve his tools. As they neared the front door, the suspect stopped and displayed what the victim described as a .25 caliber or similar type automatic pistol and demanded money. The suspect took the victim’s wallet, extracted all of the currency and then, at the request of the victim, returned the wallet containing the victim’s identification. The suspect then departed the area on foot.
