Gun-toting bandits relieve painter of cash, other valuables

A 20-year-old spray painter of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara (EBD), who was in the vicinity of the M&M Snackette, Peters’ Hall, EBD with two friends, was robbed of his cash and valuables by a motorcycle bandit and his gun-toting pillion rider on Saturday.
The incident reportedly occurred around 20:10h when the victim, Christopher Paraz, and his two friends were walking along a street known as “Small Corner” next to the M&M Snackette.
Information received revealed that the two suspects on a motorcycle bearing registration number CY 1623 intercepted the friends.
The pillion rider reportedly came off the bike and whipped out a handgun, demanding that Paraz hand over his cash and other valuables.
Out of fear, the victim handed over his haversack, which contained his wallet, cash, driver’s licence, and national identification card.
After committing the robbery, the bandits jumped on their motorcycle and rode off. A report was made, and Police have since launched an investigation into the matter.
In fact, only Sunday last, two gunmen executed a daring robbery on the M&M Snackette at Houston, Greater Georgetown, carting off an undisclosed sum of cash.
