Home News 3 arrested for $2M South Ruimveldt robbery
One day after six armed bandits beat and robbed a 39-year-old female pay clerk of $2 million at Caneview Avenue, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, the Police have arrested three men and confiscated an XR motorcycle that was used in the crime.
It was reported that on Friday, the clerk uplifted the cash from the head office of her place of employment at about 14:38h to pay workers at Caneview Avenue.
Upon arriving at the location, the woman parked her motor car and was waiting to pay the workers, as she usually does.
However, while waiting in the car, she noticed the suspects on three XR motorcycles approaching the car and suddenly coming to a stop. Two of the pillion riders dismounted the motorbikes and approached her with firearms in their hands.
They demanded that she hand over the money but she refused to do so. As such, the suspects forced open the driver’s side door of the car, pulled her out and began to cuff her about her stomach and face.
One of suspects then picked up the cash, which was secured in an envelope. Another perpetrator then discharged three rounds, one in the air and two in the direction of the car after which they all made good their escape.
Meanwhile, the Police confirmed that three of the suspects were arrested and are assisting with investigations.
