Lone gunman robs NA businessman

A gunman on a bicycle robbed the owner of La Caribe Diner of Main Street, New Amsterdam, on Friday evening. The incident occurred around 22:15h.

Businessman Albert DeNoberga was in his Vrymen’s Erven yard when the unmasked man appeared and dashed in, demanding he hand over valuables.

DeNoberga handed over $4000 and his bank card which he had on his person at the time. The man then hurriedly fled the scene.

When contacted for a comment on the matter, Divisional Commander Kevin Adonis told Guyana Times that no shots were fired.

However, a source reported that three gunshots were heard. According to reports, when the shots were heard, several patrons dashed for safety.

“Some people had to jump over the fence and go into that empty land by Theatre Ally,” bystanders reported.
