A MAN sitting on the seawall Monday night at Ogle, East Coast Demerara relaxing, was robbed by three armed bandits who also bundled him in his car and took him to a Robb Street ATM to withdraw cash.
Reports indicate that the aircraft engineer was robbed of $60,000 cash and one Samsung cell phone. He was at the time sitting on the seawall at 22:00hrs when the men approached him with a gun pointed in his direction.
The engineer then handed over 20,000 in cash that he had in his possession, along with his cell phone, but the bandits demanded more.
He was then taken to his vehicle PVV 17 32, where he was restrained in the back seat while the men drove to a Robb Street ATM. One of the bandits then exited the vehicle and visited the ATM where a withdrawal of $40,000 was done using the engineer’s bank card.
The bandits then used the vehicle with the engineer inside to go on a joy ride, later abandoning the vehicle with the victim at Regent and Cummings Streets, Georgetown. The matter was reported to the police on Tuesday and investigations continue.
