Police in C Division (East Coast Demerara) are on the hunt for three suspects who robbed an ECD man at gunpoint and hijacked his vehicle.
According to police reports, the incident occurred sometime around 23:00h on Wednesday. It was reported that Marlon Somerset of Vryheid’s Lust, ECD, was two villages away in Sparendaam, when he was approached by three males, one of whom was armed with a handgun.
The bandits relieved him of his valuables before escaping in his car. A report was made to the Police who acted promptly, resulting in the vehicle being recovered right in Sparendaam.
However, the perpetrators managed to evade the Police; as such investigators are in pursuit of them.
Guyana Times was told by sources close to the investigation that Police have since gotten a lead about the identity of the suspects and are diligently perusing it.
