Foreigner among trio robbed by gunmen at North Ruimveldt shop

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is investigating an alleged robbery under arms committed on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at about 14:30h in the Lamaha Park squatting area, North Ruimveldt.
Reports indicate that a 33-year-old businesswoman, a 36-year-old foreign national, and a 27-year-old construction worker were in a shop when they were confronted by two armed suspects.
The suspects held the victims at gunpoint, threatened to shoot them, then relieved them of valuables, including cash, jewellery, and cell phones. The victims were then ordered to lie face down before the suspects escaped on foot in an easterly direction.
Police ranks, led by a detective inspector, visited the scene and conducted preliminary investigations. CCTV cameras were observed in the area and will be reviewed. Persons in the vicinity were questioned, and checks were made for the suspects, but they were not located.
Investigations are ongoing.
