Manager robbed of $10M by armed bandits while making deposit at city bank

A manager at a popular import and distribution company was on Wednesday night robbed of $10 million cash at gunpoint by two bandits who were dressed in police uniforms.
The incident occurred at about 21:50h in the compound of a commercial bank in Kingston, Georgetown, where the 65-year-old victim, a Manager at Toucan Distributors Limited, went to deposit on behalf of the company.
Based on police reports, the two male suspects were fully dressed in “Police blue and black uniforms” and were both armed with pistols.
The manager reported leaving the company at about 21:15h on Wednesday night in a black Land Cruiser vehicle with five bags containing $10 million in cash.
On his arrival at the bank, he was greeted by a security guard on duty, who opened the gate and allowed the 65-year-old man access to the deposit site, which is located on the southern side of the bank.
The victim told investigators that as he proceeded to the deposit area, he observed two motorcyclists approaching from behind his vehicle and became concerned. However, upon noticing that the motorcyclists were ‘Policemen’ (suspects dressed in Police uniforms), he went ahead to make the deposits.
According to the manager, he walked towards the Deposit vault with the money bags in his hand, at which point one of the suspects approached him from behind, pulled out a firearm, and pointed it at his head.
The suspect then grabbed the bags from his hand and joined the other motorcyclist on the bike as they made their escape out of the bank’s compound in an unknown direction. Detectives are in the process of reviewing Close Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV), as investigations continue.
