Supermarket owner robbed at gunpoint in his home:

..."SUPER Value owner Rupert Roberts has spoken out about how he and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their home to warn others of the risk of home invasions in East Nassau.

The 72-year-old business owner said the armed robber made a silent entry to his home as he and his wife were getting ready for bed just before 7.30pm on Wednesday and appeared in the bedroom "like a ghost."

The gunman had climbed to an upstairs balcony and quietly kicked in the French double doors with soft-soled shoes while Mr Roberts and his wife were changing down the hall.

"He came in like a ghost," Mr Roberts said.

"He just appeared, materialised there and said, 'Where's the cash?'"

The intruder indicated towards Mr Roberts' safe and asked him to open it and take out his gun, but Mr Roberts diverted his attention to avoid bringing another firearm into the room.

He and his wife Margaret, 68, followed the armed robber's instructions to lead him downstairs to the bathroom where Mr Roberts kept his wallet and car keys.

Their assailant took these and shut the couple in the bathroom while he attempted his escape.

However, he returned moments later to ask for Mr Roberts to help him negotiate the door locks, before sending him back to the bathroom while he got away in Mr Roberts' van.

Although the supermarket owner said he was somewhat unfazed by the intrusion as he has been robbed at gunpoint dozens of times, his wife has been exhausted by the trauma and unable to sleep soundly since.

He warned east Nassau residents to be particularly vigilant and advises anyone in such a situation to remain calm.

Mr Roberts said: "I just thought we have got to get this guy out of here, so give him what he wants, help him along, and get him out of here.

"That is what I have done the many times I have been looking down the barrel of a gun; go along with them and don't scream.

"I knew the quicker I got to know him the more comfortable everybody was going to be."

The home invasion was followed by the similar armed robbery of a 26-year-old woman in her Prince Charles Drive home at 9pm on Saturday...."...
