A 55-year-old woman was overpowered by bandits and pistol-whipped with her own pistol at her Tunapuna home on Wednesday night.
Police said the woman arrived at her Tunapuna Road, home at around 11 pm and was walking up the staircase when she noticed two men walking behind her.
She reached for her licensed Glock 43 pistol in her handbag and fired a shot in the direction of the men but missed.
The woman was then reportedly overpowered by the attackers who grabbed the pistol from her and pistol-whipped her before snatching her handbag which contained her cellphone, bank cards and $250 in cash before running away with the handbag and pistol.
Police said the gun contained a magazine with 13 rounds of 9 mm ammunition.
Tunapuna police were called in and are continuing enquiries.
