Armed robbers assaulted a man as they snatched his chain after breaking into his home in Hamilton Parish today.

The offenders brandished a bladed article during the incident in Rocky Lane West, at about 2.10pm.

The pair, who were dressed all in black, also stole jewellery before escaping on foot.

According to police, the victim did not suffer serious injuries, but was left “extremely unnerved”.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said: “It appears that a male was in his dwelling when two males forcefully entered the residence brandishing what appeared to be a bladed article.

“The suspects then snatched the victim’s chain and helped themselves to other jewellery before making good their escape. The victim did not sustain any noticeable injures but he was extremely unnerved by the incident. He was examined on scene by EMT’s but he was not conveyed to the hospital.
