The elderly couple, aged 71 and 82, were reportedly en route to Manchester, Jamaica when the horrific incident took place.
Local media claimed the tourists were being driven by a woman in a gray Toyota when its tire blew out and the group stopped to fix it.
Shortly thereafter, a group of men drove by and asked how the accident happened.
According to police, the men told them there was a tire shop nearby and drove away.
A short time later the same car returned and two men reportedly rushed at the vehicle.
One of the crooks brandished a knife, held up one of the pensioners and stole an envelope containing £6,000.
The other Briton had three smartphones and a piece of luggage stolen with a total value of around £350.
The driver was also mugged and had her driving license and around £40 stolen.
Police said the thugs were able to flee the scene but an investigation is ongoing.
A police spokesman said: “We are investigating the case.”
“We are looking for witnesses and hope that with their help we can apprehend the suspects.”
