Gunmen strike again in Eccles

…another family terrorised, robbed

Hours after armed men had terrorised and robbed the occupants of a home in Eccles, East Bank Demerara, gunmen stuck again, this time relieving a trio of an undisclosed sum of cash and valuables in the wee hours of Thursday.
Based on reports received, two armed men gained access to the ‘EE’ Eccles, East Bank Demerara home at about 02:30h through a “high lighter” window located on the lower flat of the two-storey building. At the time, Krista Vicente, 29; Mohamed Zameer Bana, 30; and Prathish Madan, 19, were at home, having earlier secured their home and retiring to bed at about 00:15h on Thursday.
Having reportedly kicked open the bedroom doors of the victims, the two armed intruders ordered them to assemble in one room. There, holding the trio at gunpoint, the intruders demanded cash and other valuables.
Retaliating to the trio’s initial reluctant to cooperate, the men tied Bana’s feet with a belt and his hands with his shirt, even as they continued to terrorise and intimidate the trio to hand over their valuables.
While one of the men held the trio at gunpoint, the other ransacked the home and found two Movado wrist watches, one gold wedding band, to high-end mobile phones, one electronic tablet, a laptop computer, and an undisclosed sum of cash.
Apparently satisfied with their booty, the intruders reportedly left the scene, after which the occupants raised an alarm and contacted the Police.
When the Police arrived, they took statements and dusted the area for finger prints. However, nobody has as yet been arrested, but investigations continue.
Last Wednesday, four persons were terrorised and robbed after four armed man burgled their home in the wee hours of the morning. In that robbery, cash and several pieces of jewellery were taken.
