Gunmen invade, rob Western Union branch at Little Diamond

Four armed bandits executed a daring daylight robbery on a Western Union outlet and a pharmacy located at Little Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on Wednesday.
The owner, 39-year-old Parsram Prashad of Little Diamond, EBD, and 20-year-old Navindra Narine, a pharmacist of West Coast Demerara (WCD), were held at gunpoint as the men carried out the act.
According to information received, the robbery occurred at about 15:00h. Prashad reportedly told investigators that the men invaded the business establishment and scaled the counter.
Whilst in the building the men ordered everyone to “lie flat” on the floor. One of the bandits, who was armed with a handgun, demanded that the cashier hand over the daily sales.
Out of fear, Narine complied and handed over about $100,000 in cash. The bandits also carted off one Samsung Galaxy S9 cellphone, one LG cellphone, and an iPhone before departing on two motorcycles. The Police were summoned, and an investigation has been launched.
Detectives are currently reviewing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage with the hope of identifying the perpetrators.
