Goldsmith beaten, robbed by armed men

A goldsmith of Westminster, La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD), was beaten and robbed by three armed men when they invaded his home on Saturday night.
The incident occurred at about 20:45h while the 49-year-old man was in the verandah of his home.
Police said as the man was sitting in the verandah, three men – one armed with a handgun and the others with knives – jumped his fence and immediately began kicking him to the face. They then entered his house where they held his wife and two children hostage while demanding valuables.
The bandits ransacked the man’s home and carted off with an unknown quantity of gold jewellery, one black Lenovo laptop computer valued at $100,000, two black Amazon tablets valued at $40,000, one black iPhone 5s cellular phone valued at $60,000, one BLU cellular phone valued at $30,000, and $50,000 cash.
They escaped on foot after committing the robbery.
Police are investigating the incident. (G2)
