Cops kill 4 bandits in Mayaro home invasion
Police said one of the victims, the owner of a Chinese restaurant, left his home in the gated Krista Park community to drop his daughter to school but when he returned home around 9.30 am, he found his wife and 17-year-old son on the ground with their hands tied and tape over their mouths. The gunmen approached him within seconds and ordered him to the floor.

However, police had already received a tip-off about the home invasion and officers from the Mayaro Police Station, Eastern Division Task Force and Emergency Response Patrol entered the premises within minutes.
