The police are on the hunt for four men who executed a daring robbery on an East Canje, Berbice family on Tuesday.
Reports are the robbery was committed on 46-year-old Rudolph Kentolall, a labourer of Lot 964 East Canefield New Area at about 18:30h by the suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun.
The men escaped with $70,000, one watch and two gold earrings along with a quantity of artificial jewellery.
According to police, Rudolph Kentolall and his wife Bibi were at their neighbour’s home when he saw two of the four suspects entering the lower flat of his house through an open door.
Upon seeing the men, Kentolall immediately rushed to his house and was confronted by two of bandits, who he dealt several lashes with a piece of wood. The two men ran away, leaving their accomplices in the house.
Police have since confirmed that the victim went to the front of his door where he confronted the other two men and managed to unmask one of the bandits. The suspect is reportedly a relative of the victim, who resides at Adelphi Village.
However, the armed suspect immediately discharged a round and they too fled the scene.
The police have since recovered the cloth mask belonging to one of the bandits and a live round of ammunition at the scene. An investigation is underway.
