Knife-wielding bandits rob labourer

A labourer is now left counting his losses after he was attacked by two knife-wielding bandits and robbed of his valuables while walking in Cane View Avenue, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
Thirty-five-year-old Glenn Jeffrey of Greenheart Street, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown was attacked and robbed at about 15:00h on Friday.
Guyana Times understands that Jeffrey was walking south on the road heading towards Royal Castle when the two men walked past him. One of the men reportedly stopped a short distance away and requested a phone call. However, the victim declined this man’s request, explaining to the man that he had no credit.
The perpetrators then suddenly pointed two knives at Jeffery, before taking away his cell phone and cash. The men then quickly made good their escape.
A report was made at the East La Penitence Police Station. An investigation has been launched.
