Businesswoman Felicity Carmichael of North Sophia, Georgetown was walking along Pike Street, Campbellville at about 22:20h on Sunday when two armed bicycle bandits approached her and confiscated her purse, which contained her cell phone and jewellery and cash valuing $273,000.
In carrying out their attack, the duo first rode past her and proceeded to block her path. One of the riders then pulled out a pistol from his pants waist and pointed it at her, demanding that she hand over her valuables. Immobilised with fear, the 49-year-old could do nothing as one of the bandits grabbed her bag from her shoulder.
The men then quickly rode away in a westerly direction in making good their escape. The matter was reported, and the Police are investigating.
