A 28-year-old Chinese national is currently hospitalised with a single gunshot wound to his leg after he was robbed and shot by gunmen outside his home.
The injured man has been identified as Coa Ben Fei, a chef of Bonasika Street, Section K Campbellville, Greater Georgetown. According to Police reports, the incident occurred around 00:05h on Sunday.
It was reported that the victim had just pulled up in front of his house, exited his motor car and opened the gate, when he was confronted by three men. One of the men was armed with a handgun and held him at gunpoint. The men then proceeded to relieve him of his cell phone, a chain and ,000 cash.
After robbing the Chinese national of his belongings, the armed suspect shot him in the upper right thigh after which the bandits escaped in a dark-coloured motor car.
The injured man was picked up and rushed to the Woodlands Hospital, where he underwent surgery. He is still hospitalised, but his condition has been listed as stable.
Meanwhile, investigators have retrieved a 9mm spent shell at the scene. No arrests have been made as yet, but investigations are ongoing.
Over the past weeks, several businesses owned by Chinese nationals were robbed. Only Thursday last, armed bandits beat and robbed Chinese nationals who were operating a supermarket.
Based on reports, four men on two Honda CG motorcycles pulled up in front of Prance Chinese Supermarket at Crown Dam, Industry, East Coast Demerara, two of them stayed outside to keep guard while the others rushed into the business place.
They held the cashier and the owner at gunpoint, and demanded money. At the time of the robbery, around 14:30h, there were no customers in the supermarket. One of the bandits then gun-butted the cashier and continued to make demands. Another worker who was close by was also struck to the head.
Out of fear, the cashier opened the register and handed over the money and a quantity of phone cards. Not satisfied, the bandit went around the cashier’s counter and pulled out a bag containing an undisclosed sum of money. He reportedly placed the bag on the counter and the second gunman collected it, as he waved his gun at the cashier, threatening her.
The perpetrators then left the supermarket, jumped onto the waiting motorcycles and fled the scene. No arrest has been made.
