Cole Bay:--- Two bandits tried to enter the home of Member of Parliament Louis Laveist on Friday evening around 8pm. The MP told SMN News that two of his god children were at his home at the time of the incident and one of them had left the house for a few minutes to purchase bread at the Peiking Supermarket when the incident occurred. MP Laveist said his 12 year old god son was in the house alone when an unknown man showed up at his house demanding that the child open the door to let him in. Laveist said when the child refused the man showed him signs telling him that he will kill him by cutting his throat. Laveist said while the unknown man was at his door the child called his god sister who was just a few yards away on the phone and informed her of the situation. Laveist said his god daughter then called him and he was at the Tackling Gas Station when he received the message.The Member of Parliament said that when he reached his house a government security guard who lives in the area confirmed to him that he saw the two men jumping his back fence as they made their escape.
Laveist said police were called to the scene and they responded in record time but did not find the culprits in the area. Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson could not be reached on Friday evening when he was called for a report on the incident.
