THREE men armed with guns robbed popular Chinese restaurant Lai Li, located at Portuguese Quarters, Port Mourant, Corentyne on Sunday.According to reports, the men entered the Region Six restaurant at about 20:15 hrs. and demanded that the owner hand over cash. It is unclear how much money the bandits escaped with.

The Guyana Chronicle was told that two of the men stayed indoors while the third kept guard at the door. Persons nearby who realised what was happening advanced towards the restaurant, and this caused the bandits to become fearful.

On escaping, the men fired a shot at a dog which was in their way.

The men were reportedly earlier seen at a bar next door to the restaurant. Sources say the men are known to police.
