Tied Up and Robbed
posted (January 18, 2010)

Two Indian business-men were brutally tied up and robbed this weekend. We are not sure if two business men were followed but from the account of what transpired that is exactly what may have happened to twenty five year old Ravi Bhagani and thirty seven year Vinod Kumar. Bhagani and Kumar had just pulled up in front of Bhagni’s King’s Park residence around one on Sunday morning when they were approached by but four dark complexioned men. All were wearing rags and shirts to conceal their faces and the men were armed.

According to Bhagani the men forced them inside their house where they were held hostage, tied their hands and covered their faces. Bhagni and Kumar were then put to lie face down on the floor. While the two men were bound and unable to move the assailants stole the men’s cell phones and cash and made off with a purple Toyota extra cab pickup truck. The entire ordeal took just over two hours. The total value of stolen items is estimated at a whopping eighteen thousand, nine hundred and fifty dollars.

After the men left the premises, Bhagni told police he and Kumar were able to free themselves around three fifty that morning. According to the police press release there are no leads in this case and as usual it is being investigated.
