Bandits tie up guards, escape with safe from Eureka Laboratory

Bandits on Tuesday night pounced on two security guards at the Eureka Medical Laboratory, Thomas Street, North Cummingsburg, Georgetown and bound them while they robbed the medical facility.
According to Police, about 23:45h two gunmen approached the guards at the facility and ordered them to take them to the “boss” office.
Police said that one of the guards reported that he was in a guard hut located at the front of the lab while the other guard was in a guard hut on the eastern side of the building, when he was approached by one of the suspects who pointed a gun at him.
The guard told Police that the man instructed him not to press the panic button and he was then taken out of the hut while the same was done to the second guard after which they were both forced to open the building.
“On entrance the perpetrators ordered the guards to take them to the boss’s office, where they were ordered to lay face down on the ground, and the suspects zip-tied their hands behind their back with plastic zip ties,” the Police statement said.
According to Police, the bandits then carted off a metal safe, with an undisclosed amount of cash and made good their escape in a white Toyota IST motor car bearing number plate PPP 4592, which was parked on the eastern side of Thomas Street facing north.
An investigation has been launched.
