Teen beaten, robbed by armed bandits

A 16-year-old teenager of Kaneville on the East Bank of Demerara (EBD) was beaten and robbed at knifepoint on Friday morning by three armed men.
Police said the teen was robbed of a black BMX bicycle valued at $12,000 and $240 at Hammer Head Kaneville, EBD.
Reports are at the time of the robbery, which occurred just after midnight, one of the three men was armed with a knife.
Freeman told investigators he was on his bicycle heading to a shop, which is located at Hammer Head, Kaneville, to purchase ramen noodles, when he was approached by the three bandits on foot.
The three suspects allegedly pounced upon the victim and two of them searched his person while the third held him at knifepoint. In his report to the Police, the teen said that he resisted and the men dealt him a cut to his hand.
One of the suspects has since been arrested and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he is under guard receiving medical attention. Investigations are ongoing.
Just recently, a 19-year-old was robbed at Plantain Walk, West Bank Demerara (WBD), after leaving her aunt’s house in the said vicinity to go home.
The teen left her aunt’s house a few minutes prior to the incident and was waiting for a minibus to go home when she was approached by a young man riding a bicycle, who threatened her with a knife as he demanded that she hand over her bags.
Intimidated by the threats, the teen said she handed over the bags – one containing $15,500; headphones, an iPhone and smaller articles while the other contained books, a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt. The suspect then made good his escape by riding in the direction of Vreed-en-Hoop.
The matter was later reported to the Police.
