Gunmen terrorise, rob popular Berbice music operator

Two armed men on Saturday evening terrorised and robbed a businessman of cash and other items when they invaded his Overwinning, New Amsterdam home.
Reports are that the businessman’s son was just about to lock the gate when he was confronted by a gunman.
Deonarine Albert, 52, and his 25-year-old son, Roberto had just arrived home when the robbery took place.
Guyana Times understands that moments prior to the robbery, Albert’s son-in-law returned home with his wife and left the gate open for the businessman to drive into the yard.
However, the young man was held at gunpoint and escorted into the yard, where the bandits ordered the businessman into the house and demanded money and jewellery. He was gun-butted as the intruders made their demands.
The bandits collected the man’s mobile phone, an undisclosed sum of cash, and a quantity of jewellery before making good their escape. This publication was told that as the men were leaving the scene, they discharged several shots.
The Police were subsequently summoned to the scene where they were given access to the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) recordings. They were able to identify a white Toyota Spacio as the getaway car, but up to press time, they were still hunting for the two bandits.
On October 11, 2016, bandits used a similar method to enter the Alberts’ home. On that occasion Roberto was beaten by three armed men who forced him to hand over $620,000 along with his car keys.
They then fled the scene using the businessman’s car, which was later found abandoned at Savannah Park, New Amsterdam.
It was reported that the men exited the vehicle and boarded a waiting car and made good their escape. The car, according to Albert, had in it $1,000,000 worth of phone cards, two laptops, and five cellular phones.
To date, no one was prosecuted for that robbery.
