Indian national robbed of car, money on Kitty seawall
The Police have launched a manhunt for two bandits who relieved an Indian national of his motorcar, cash and cell phone in the vicinity of the Kitty Seawalls in Georgetown.
Based on information received, the 55-year-old man had gone to the Kitty Seawalls for a stroll, and he parked his car in the vicinity of the 1823 Slave Rebellion monument.

He met a friend and sat for a chat, but shortly afterwards, the female friend explained, she was feeling a gun to her right-side waist, and suddenly someone was instructing her not to move or raise an alarm.
She immediately looked up, and saw that another man had placed a knife to the Indian national’s neck.
The bandits relieved the man of his mobile phone. This newspaper was told that the attacker, who was wearing a black striped t-shirt and a pair of red jeans, then went into the man’s pocket and relieved him of $12,000 and two sets of keys — one for his car and the other for his apartment.
As the ordeal continued, the bandit asked the Indian national to separate the car keys from the house keys. Upon doing so, the men ran towards the car, bearing registration number PNN 3428, and drove away, leaving the duo stranded on the seawalls.
The duo subsequently shouted for help, and two young men in the area went to their assistance. The duo was taken to the Kitty Police Station, where they reported the incident, but after visiting the scene with a Police rank, they were advised to instead make a report to the Alberttown Police Station.
The two men who had attacked the duo were not masked, and were neatly dressed. The Indian national has been residing in Guyana for the past 11 years, but this is the first time, he has had such an experience. The motorcar, he noted, was not fully insured, but was under the third-party insurance.
Police are continuing their investigations.
