A BRITISH couple have been robbed at gunpoint in their hotel bedroom on a paradise Caribbean island.
The pair say they have been left "traumatised" after a masked intruder burst into their room at 3am and made off with £5,000.
They confronted the burglar, who was wearing dark clothing, a mask, and a bag on his back.
He then fled towards the entrance of the hotel on the island of Antigua before escaping.
The crook managed to get away with a number of the couple's valuables, including a camera worth £700 and £5,000 in cash.
Antigua police confirmed that they are investigating the incident, which happened last weekend.
