Bandits rob, terrorise Festival City family

A group of bandits robbed and terrorised a family of three at their Festival City, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown home in the wee hours of Wednesday last.
The women, aged 44, 22, and a teenager, were robbed by five bandits who held them at gunpoint during which they ransacked the house.
Guyana Times understands that at about 03:10h on the day in question, the men entered the home by breaking a back door on the building.
The 22-year-old victim was first accosted and robbed by two of the armed men who entered her room and relieved her of a gold chain that she was wearing. She was then dragged into another room where her mother, 44-year-old and 15-year-old cousins were in.
At this point, three other bandits entered the building and began ransacking the house, while they held the trio at gunpoint.
After finding no cash, the bandits reportedly threatened to chop the women about their bodies. Fearful for their lives, the women began begging the men.
The men later carted off with three cell phones, four laptops, other electronic devices, jewellery, and an undisclosed sum of cash. They even took foodstuff and floor mats.
After the men left, the Police were contacted and an investigation was launched. No arrests were made.
