Customs broker robbed of motorcycle

Twenty-one-year-old customs broker Samuel Luke of Stevedore Housing Scheme, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown was deprived of his motorcycle at about 21:30h on Wednesday when two men pounced on him and confiscated his vehicle.
Reports are that Luke had just turned his motorcycle onto the bridge leading to his yard when he noticed two men riding a black CJ motorcycle approaching him. The pillion rider reportedly hopped off this machine, walked up to Luke and demanded his keys.
Luke initially refused to deliver, but the perpetrator dealt him a lash to his head with the handgun he was brandishing, before discharging a round in the air; scaring Luke, who immediately handed over the keys.
The man then jumped onto Luke’s bike, and the duo sped away west on Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt.
Police have since launched an investigation into this incident.
