THREE bandits robbed a housewife and her mother of cash, jewellery and a cellphone at Glasgow Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.

The housewife, who was in bed, woke up from her sleep after a backdoor to the house made a cracking sound, as the bandits armed with handguns and cutlass tried to gain entry to the house.

The 29-year-old woman, who was confronted by the robbers, panicked when she saw a gun pointed to her head. The men demanded cash and jewellery. One of the bandits then relieved her of the jewellery she had on both hands.

The bandits then headed into the adjoining room, where they robbed the housewife’s 45-year-old mother.

During the robbery, the woman raised an alarm and the bandits ran out of the house through the very door they entered and escaped.

No shot was fired and no one was injured during the robbery.

Police confirmed the robbery, noting that the bandits carted off gold and silver jewellery and one Samsung Galaxy S 4 phone.
