Three armed men on Saturday morning robbed two sales representatives attached to Massy Distribution while they were conducting a transaction in Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The robbery occurred sometime around 09:20h at Matthew’s Shop, Third Street, Grove.
Reports are that the sales reps – Rondell Downes and Lorenzo Sewchand – were conducting a transaction at Matthew’s Shop when they observed two males walking towards them – one was armed with a handgun.
The perpetrators went up to the victims and the armed suspect pointed the gun towards them and told them not to move or he was going to shoot them. They demanded all their belongings, which were handed over.
The men took $300 from Sewchand and from Downes, a Samsung Galaxy cellular phone
valued $26,000 along with $51,184 cash which was the property of Massy Distribution.
After collecting the items, the suspects then made good their escape on foot into Kaneville, EBD.
Statements were taken and the investigation is in progress.
A few weeks ago, a resident of First Bridge, Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was attacked and robbed by three cutlass-wielding bandits.
The incident occurred as the woman was making her way home from work.
Thirty-four-year-old Nikita Mohabir, a salesperson, was robbed of $280,000, two cellphones, and important documents.
Police said one of the perpetrators pointed a cutlass at the woman and told her to stay calm. He then grabbed her handbag containing the cash and other valuables.
After committing the act, he and his two accomplices made good their escape.
