The police officers acted and held four suspects involved in the robbery, including teenagers.

As per the reports about the Saint James robbery case, the female senior citizen is a resident of Carenage, Trinidad. On the day of the crime, the old lady was in the locality along Mucurapo Road in Saint James, sitting inside her car at Hot Shoppe Carpark.
