Goldsmith robbed at Hydronie Market

Police are investigating an alleged robbery-under-arms incident committed on 43-year-old Reezal Reektan, a goldsmith of Stuartville Railway Line, WCD.
Two identifiable males, one armed with a handgun, reportedly approached the goldsmith at the Hydronie Market, Parika on Sunday at about 11:30 hrs, and relieved him of Gy$400,000 and a quantity of gold and silver jewelry, the value of which is yet unknown.
Enquires disclosed that the virtual complainant usually sells jewelry at the market in a glass case. On the day mentioned, he went to the market at about 6:00hrs and laid out his glass case with the items. At about 11:30 hrs, he was approached by the two suspects, who enquired about a ring, and while in conversation, one of the suspects held the goldsmith’s jersey and brandished a handgun while the other suspect emptied the glass case of items and cash, placing all into a bag he had in his possession before they ran north then turned west after discharging a round in the air as they made good their escape.
No one was injured, and no spent shell was recovered. Checks were made for the suspects, but they were not located. Investigations are continuing.
