GDF ranks robbed on seawall by knife-toting bandits

Two serving ranks of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) were on Wednesday evening robbed on the seawall in the vicinity of the Rupert Craig Highway by two men, one of whom was armed with a knife.
The ranks – a 39-year-old Woman Corporal and a 23-year-old male Private – were relieved of one black handbag, one black Alcatel cellular phone, and $19,000 cash.
Police have said that on the day in question, at about 19:45h, the victims were sitting on the seawall along the Rupert Craig Highway in the vicinity of the Pump Station when they were confronted by the suspects.
One of the two suspects reportedly pointed a knife at the victims and demanded that they hand over their valuables.
Fearful for her life, the female victim ran and left her bag, while the male victim was relieved of his cash.
The suspects then made good their escape. The matter was reported and an investigation has been launched.
