Armed bandits storms Sisters Village shop

A quiet evening in the West Bank Demerara village of Sisters became unsettled after two armed gunmen stormed a roadside business place, which operates as a shop and bar. Late Wednesday evening, Guyana Times was told that the two bandits forced several persons to lie face down while they relived them of their belongings.
Reports are that around 09:10 hrs, the bandits approached the shop, seemingly as though they wanted to purchase items but quickly revealed their true intentions soon after. A victim of the attack, who was still shaken up and preferred to remain anonymous, told this publication, that he was at the shop buying phone cards, when the bandits came up and whipped out a hand gun and forced him to the ground. He related that his mobile phone and money was stolen.
Guyana Times was further told that as one of the gunmen held up persons in the shop, the other reportedly ransacked the home of the shop’s owner. Up to press time, Police ranks were patrolling and conducting active investigations to get to bottom of the brazen crime. Guyana Times was told that after the ordeal, villagers gathered and comforted the victims who suffered from the reported attack. Investigations are continuing.
