Supermarket employee robbed while walking home

A teenaged supermarket employee was robbed on Thursday night by a lone perpetrator as she was making her way home from work.
The incident took place two buildings away from a service station in New Amsterdam.
It occurred in front of a masjid, situated at Main and Essex Streets as 19-year-old Andrea Devraj had just left J’s Supermarket where she works. She told Guyana Times that the robber started making verbal advances to the colleague with whom she was at the time.
When the woman showed no interest, he continued down the road, but shortly after returned with a different motive.
“The next thing we know is that he come behind us and he scramble my phone and me bag,” Devraj explained.
She said apart from other things, the bag contained $3000.
“Ah hold on to his bicycle and he walk through the street and when he realise that it is at J’s we working and if he walk, I gon walk behind he and the security gon get him, he come back for the bike and say, ‘if you don’t loose the bike, I gon shoot you all’, and he put his hand inside his pocket,” the teenager recounted.
Devraj said she did not see a firearm, but out of fear, she let go of the bicycle. The Police are investigating.
On Friday, a gunman robbed M Ali Service Station situated one street away and carted off in excess of $600,000 in cash while shooting and injuring one of the employees. (G4)
