East La Penitence vendor robbed at gunpoint

Cyral Belcaram of Gordon Street, Kitty Georgetown, a stallholder of the East La Penitence Market, was held at gunpoint by a lone gunman who entered the market and confiscated his gold chain, a gold ring, a Samsung Galaxy S8 cellular phone, and $330,000 in cash.
Based on information received, the incident occurred at about 13:30h on Tuesday, while the victim was sitting in a chair with the back door of his stall open. He suddenly heard a voice saying, “Don’t move, give me everything”, and as he spun around, he was confronted by the suspect, who was armed with a hand gun.
The armed man reportedly first confiscated the jewellery Belcaram was wearing. Not satisfied, he then went into the man’s pocket and took away his cash. After committing the act, the young man exited the market and escaped on a black motorcycle. An alarm was raised and the Police were summoned.
The Police are yet to extract footage from CCTV cameras in the area, but several persons were questioned as Police continue their investigations.
