Gunmen storm Region 4 RDC office, escape with cash

Four gunmen in the wee hours of Thursday morning stormed the Region Four Regional Democratic Office, Triumph, East Coast Demerara, and carted off an undisclosed sum of money after torching two safes.

Guyana Times understands that at about 02:00h, four men armed with handguns, invaded the RDC office compound from the back where they relieved one of two security guards of his cash and other valuables.

The men then tied up the guards and made their way into the building where they torched two safes and escaped with an undisclosed sum of money.

From reports, the two guards managed to free themselves and contacted the Beterverwagting Police Station.

Investigators have since dusted the area for fingerprints and took statements from the guards.

No arrests have been made. Attempts to contact the regional executive officer proved futile.
