A benign Wednesday afternoon on the East Coast of Demerara turned ominous at about 15:00hrs when two reportedly unmasked bandits, one toting a gun, stormed the E-Networks Store housed in the lower flat of the Mon Repos Mall and ordered everyone to lie on the ground, before searching them and confiscating their valuables and the day’s sales of the store. 
Guyana Times was told that five persons — three customers and two sales representatives — were robbed of cash, mobile phones and other valuables, including I-pads, in an ordeal that lasted for mere minutes before the bandits fled in a waiting motorcar. Fortunately, no one was injured during the ordeal.
This newspaper was informed that Police are reviewing the CCTV footage of this Wednesday robbery, but no one has as yet been arrested.
This is not the first robbery to have occurred at this Mall.
In January 2016, four bandits invaded the Bank of Baroda branch located on the ground floor of this Mall, at about 12:50h on the day in question, and relieved the female security guard of her .32 service revolver before robbing the entity of more than $2 million cash. Several persons have, however, been charged for that crime.
