Couple bound, beaten, robbed by bandits

A 36-year-old driver and his 30-year-old wife have been left traumatised after they were tied up, beaten, and robbed by two men armed with a handgun and a cutlass.
Reports are that the victims, who live together, retired to bed around 22:00h on Saturday at their Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD) home.
However, about 03:45h, they were awakened by a male voice that commanded that they not move while hand over their money and jewellery.
The one of the suspects then proceeded to duct tape the male victim’s face preventing him from seeing and bound his hands with straps.
He then proceeded to point a firearm in the direction of the woman, and demanded cash and jewellery while the other suspect kept watch at the door.
According to Police, the suspect with the gun then gun-butted to his head the male victim, who eventually directed them to the cash and jewellery. Meanwhile, the other suspect dealt the female victim a lash to her back with the cutlass.
Both suspects then ransacked the house. They made good their escape on foot through the front door in a northerly direction.
A report was subsequently made to the Police about 05:20h. Police have since launched an investigation. (G9)
