– another robbed of motorcycle

A 15-year-old boy of Phase Two Area A Good Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was on Saturday evening relieved of one blue Samsung Galaxy cell phone and $7000 cash by four males, two of which were identifiable.
It was reported that the victim, along with two others went to a shop about two corners away from their home, when he saw some of his friends who were liming and drinking alcohol.
He reportedly went over to them and it was then one of the men held him at knifepoint, while another pushed his hands into his right-side pocket of the victim and took out a wallet. In retaliation, the teen put up a resistance but the other two suspects death him several cuffs about his body.
The victim managed to escape and reported the matter. Two of the suspects were arrested and are currently in custody assisting with the ongoing investigation.
Meanwhile, a 19-year-old boy of Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown, was robbed of a Grey Wave 110 motorcycle.
Police in a statement related that at about 22:30h on the day in question, the teenager was in control of the motorcycle which belonged to his aunt who had loaned it to him. However, in the vicinity of Sixth Street, Access Road, he was seen pushing the said motorcycle towards a vulcanising shop, when he was confronted by two males on a black XR motorcycle.
The suspects, who were armed with handguns, then held the victim at gunpoint and relieved him of the said motorcycle. A report was made and an investigation has been launched.
