MERE hours touching down here, a US-based Guyanese couple is now counting their losses after thieves broke into their vehicle and carted off over $3M worth of electronics and jewellery.

Among items reported missing were a handbag belonging to Fareezah, and two backpacks belonging to her husband and his brother, in which were their passports, jewellery and other personal items totaling some $3M.

According to an eyewitness, two persons on a motorcycle were seen near the minibus and acting in a suspicious manner. This was corroborated by CCTV footage from the restaurant.
The matter is currently being investigated by the police.
