Armed bandits terrorise, rob Chinese couple

Three armed men executed a daring robbery on the Su Ping Chinese Restaurant at Reliance Settlement, East Canje Berbice on Monday evening.
Based on information received, at about 21:00h on Monday, proprietor of the restaurant, Shoa Mei Li, was bathing her son in the yard when a strange sound was heard emanating from the yard.
As such, her husband went to inquire, and he saw a male carrying a long gun. Without hesitation, he ran into the restaurant and locked the door, leaving his wife and child outside.
Police investigations revealed that three armed men, all dressed in dark-coloured clothing, confronted the woman and dealt her several blows to the head with a knife.
They then took her into the living quarters and demanded money, and out of fear for her life and that of her son, she handed over $330,000 in cash. Not satisfied, they confiscated the woman’s Iphone 7 before they made good their escape.
The Police were subsequently summoned and commenced their investigations. Up to press time, no arrests were made.
