A Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) man is now left counting his losses after he was attacked by gunmen and robbed of his motorcycle on Saturday night.
Keoma McAlmont said that he rode his motorcycle from Tuschen to De Kinderen, West Coast Demerara (WCD), but stopped to take cover after it began raining.
According to the 21-year-old man, at around 21:30h, his phone rang and as he was speaking on the phone, he saw a white motorcar pass the bus shed. He recalled that a short while after, he noticed that the car, which was heading in the direction of Vreed-en-Hoop, reversing and stopped in front of the bus shed in which he was standing. McAlmont related that two men exited the car and approached him. He said that one of the men pulled out a firearm from the waist of his pants, pointed it to his head and demanded that he hand over the motorcycle and keys.
“The man seh ‘bai you got to give me this bike’, so I became afraid because they had the gun to my head and I give them it,” the traumatised man revealed. The men then escaped with the bike and the car sped away. The police were called to the scene and the matter was reported. An investigation has since been launched.
