TRILLION Munroe of Tucber Park, New Amsterdam, Berbice died at the Georgetown Public Hospital while receiving medical attention while his robbery accomplice, Kevin David was hospitalised under guard at the same medical institution.

The two were earlier yesterday afternoon chased and caught by residents of La Bonne Intention, East Coast Demerara after they snatched a bag containing some $750,000 from 37-year-old Jasdai Persaud, also known as Nalani Mohamed, of

45 Cherry Field, LBI, shortly after she had returned from a city bank with the money.
Yesterday neither the woman nor her relatives were willing to speak with this publication about the incident.
However persons who were on the scene related that the woman and her husband had just returned home when two men rode up on a motorcycle and one raced into the yard and snatched a bag from the woman which contained the money.
The woman then raised an alarm and her husband rushed to the men but the pillion rider reportedly fired a shot in his direction causing him to retreat.
However, the woman’s two brothers who were at separate locations in the area were also alerted about the robbery.
The men then attempted to chase the bandits who were on the motorcycle but were getting difficulties in having the men stop as they fired shots in the direction of the woman’s relatives. The relatives then took a decision to ram a car into the motorcycle the bandits were riding, pinning one of them under the vehicle while the other was pitched several yards away and lay in an unconscious state. The police were then called in.
Meanwhile when the police arrived they were able to retrieve a Guyana Defence Force Identification Card which belonged to one Kevin David who is the second bandit, who is now hospitalised. Cops were also able to retrieve a bag containing the money which was snatched from the woman as well as an unlicensed .32 revolver.

The Guyana Chronicle was late last evening able to confirm from a senior GDF source that the bandit, Kevin David was indeed a soldier but had been absent without leave (AWOL) for some time.
At the moment the woman has some workers who are carrying out extension works to her wooden house and according to persons in the area the woman only brought the men to the location two days ago.
Yesterday the Guyana Police Force in a statement said that the men who committed the robbery were confronted by relatives of the woman as they left the premises where they carried out the robbery.
It was during their bid to flee from the area that they were apprehended by the relatives who chased after them. The police were also able to recover four live rounds and a spent shell along with the unlicensed .32 revolver.
