A British couple on holiday in Barbados were attacked by a masked man armed with a gun last Sunday night at a private home which they were renting in Lower Carlton, St James.
Reports reaching the Saturday Sun indicated that a female was sexually assaulted while jewellery, cash and cell phones were stolen.
Police public relations officer, Acting Inspector Rodney Inniss, confirmed the crime was under investigation.
Sources said the heinous crime was committed while most of the country was still in a blackout and dealing with the fallout from Hurricane Elsa, which pounded Barbados two days earlier. (MB)
