Chief Superintendent Marvin Dames with responsibility for the Central Detective Unit (CDU) said yesterday, that the report was made to police by a 36-year-old man from Ridgeland Park.
At about 1 a.m. on Saturday past, the complainant and his female friend had just arrived at his Ridgeland Park home, when they were accosted by two masked, armed men.
The men allegedly tied the pair up and robbed them of $500, a Rolex watch and other personal items.
“Before leaving, they raped the female,” Chief Dames said.
They reportedly fled the property in a dark grey 2000 Honda Inspire, which was later recovered at Johnstone Avenue.
Additionally, police were called in to investigate several stabbings over the weekend.
Sometime around 8.08 p.m. on Saturday, a 41-year-old man told police that he was involved in a heated argument with another man known to him at Gun Hill, Fox Hill.
As a result, he was stabbed in the right upper back and transported to hospital with serious injuries. Officers from CDU arrested a 26-year-old man from Golden Gates #1 in connection with the stabbing.
Meantime, at about 8.50 p.m. on Saturday, Mr Dames said a 24-year-old man of Charles Vincent Street reported to police that when chatting with a friend at the residence, a man wielding a cutlass approached and attacked them.
In the process of trying to disarm the man known to them, the 24-year-old suffered a serious chop to the back of the head.
According to Chief Dames, a 36-year-old man of Miami Street was arrested in connection with the incident.
On Friday at about 12 a.m. a 30-year-old man told police that he had just pulled up at Esso on the Run Gas Station on East Bay Street. A few moments later, two men pulled up behind him in a green Honda Accord car, exited the vehicle and walked towards him.
One of the men was armed with a knife and upon seeing this, the waiting man tried to secure his vehicle.
However, he was unsuccessful and ended up being stabbed by the man in the lower left back and right arm, Mr Dames said. His injuries were listed as none life-threatening. All investigations into the foregoing incidents continue.
