TWO men who joined a minibus on Friday night from the central bus park in Georgetown held up the entire bus and robbed the passengers of valuables while holding the driver, conductor and other passengers at gun, knife and cutlass points.

This publication was reliably informed that one of the men called out to the conductor to stop on Mandela Avenue in the vicinity of the Ruimveldt Industrial Site.
As the minibus pulled over, one of the men jumped out of the back window, raced to the front of the bus and held up the driver; the other bandit then exited the bus and held up the conductor while the other two men who were reportedly awaiting the arrival of the bus with their colleagues, came out and began relieving passengers of their items.
Up to late yesterday afternoon no one was arrested for the incident and the police are said to be continuing their investigation.
