Bandit posing as customer robs Chinese restaurant

A Chinese restaurant at Goed Fortune, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was on Friday robbed by a bandit posing as a customer.
According to reports, at around 22:30h a silver-grey primo motor car stopped in front of the restaurant and a man exited the back passenger seat of the car, went to the gate of the restaurant and ordered a chicken fried rice. As the staff went in to prepare the order, the bandit whipped out the gun, jumped over the fence, ran into the restaurant, and held the owner at gunpoint.
At that time, the owner of the business began resisting and the lone gunman hit him to his head with the firearm which caused him to receive injuries.
Guyana Times understands that during the scuffle, the magazine of the gun fell to the ground and six live 9mm ammunition fell out.
After seeing this, the suspect reportedly left the man, went under the counter of the restaurant, grabbed the cash then jumped the fence and made good his escape in the waiting car. It is still unclear how much money the suspect took from the restaurant. A report was made to the Police and an investigation has been launched.
