MONROVIA, January 23 (LINA) -An 86-year-old woman was alleged armed robbed at her home in Barnersville outside Monrovia by six men armed with knives and cutlasses.
Madam Anna S. Kawleh and her 18-year-old grandson, Lawson Doe, who was tied up, were held hostage by the robbers for several hours, according to her granddaughter, Saybiah Johnson.
“The armed robbers took her 2005 Honda CRV car, 50-inch screen television set, a video deck and L$6,000 for Lawson’s school fees,” Johnson told the Liberia News Agency in a brief phone interview Thursday.
No arrest has been made and investigation into the situation is still on-going, according to a police source in Barnersville.
Asked how Old lady Kawleh is coping with the situation, Johnson said “the old lady is in a state of trauma right now, but people are talking it out of her mind.”
