Man beaten, robbed of motor car

– in armed robbery at Bourda

A 36-year-old caterer, of Bent Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, was Monday evening relieved of his motor car and other valuables by three armed men at North Road, Bourda, Georgetown.
Based on reports received, the victim and his three friends travelled to the Bourda Market, and upon arrival, he parked his silver grey motor car bearing registration number PTT 8405 on North Road. And as they exited, they were confronted by three men, one of whom was armed with a hand gun.
The man pointed the gun at the caterer and demanded the key to the motor car, but the victim refused to hand it over; thus in retaliation, the gunman dealt several blows to the caterer’s head with the gun.
The caterer reportedly fell to the ground, and his friends ran away, leaving him behind. While the caterer was lying on the roadway, one of the men relieved him of the key to his car and of his mobile phone before the men made good their escape in the motor car.
Police are investigating the incident. No arrests have been made.
