Alejandro Cowo
A cabdriver is the latest victim of a brazen home invasion in Ladyville where three men reportedly entered his home on Ocean Jack Avenue while he was asleep and proceeded to rob him. Cornelius Burke told police that whilst asleep someone placed their hands on his mouth, while two others demanded that he disclose the location of a safe. When he told them that he knew nothing of what they were talking about, the men helped themselves to six hundred dollars, as well as six flat screen TVs, before making off in his van.
