The Long Xing supermarket, a popular establishment famously known as the ‘pink building’, located in Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), fell victim to an armed robbery on Saturday evening.
According to reports, two armed men forcefully entered the premises and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, managing to escape from the scene successfully.

While specific details surrounding the robbery remain unclear, it has been confirmed that a customer, who was shopping at the time, sustained injuries during the incident. This event marks the second robbery to have taken place at the supermarket within a span of just one month.
In response, Police have initiated an investigation with the aim of apprehending the culprits.
Just recently, a group of four individuals, including one armed with a toy gun, targeted a Chinese supermarket in Good Hope, East Coast Demerara.
They robbed the owners of cash, cell phones, and phone cards. The arrested bandit, a 21-year-old man, was found hiding in a trench after a high-speed chase with the Police.
The remaining three suspects escaped during the pursuit. A toy gun that was used in the robbery was seized, along with stolen phone cards and some cash. Investigations into the incident are still ongoing. (G9)
