GUNMEN yesterday held up workers at the Knollis, St Catherine home of Cabinet Minister Karl Samuda, locked them in a room before making their escape with the MP's shotgun and approximately 100 rounds of ammunition about 12:00 noon.
The men also made off with a quantity of US currency after cutting open a steel safe with a blowtorch, according to the police.
"I really feel violated in a very real way," Samuda, who was not home at the time, told the Observer yesterday.
The robbery came less than 24 hours after Samuda announced that he had met with area leaders in his constituency and informed them that he would not need their help in upcoming election campaigns, even if it cost him his seat.
