–but police track down and arrest the bandits

TWO men who had hired taxi driver Narine Bahadur to travel from Vreed-en-Hoop to Parika, attacked and robbed him of his motor vehicle at about 15:45 hrs on February 21 at New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara.

The men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, held up the 52-year-old driver of Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara, and took away his vehicle.

The police responded to the report, and recovered the vehicle at a location in Vreed-en-Hoop. Further investigations led to the arrest of the perpetrators in a restaurant at Harlem, WCD, and the recovery of an unlicensed .38 Taurus revolver.

The men are in police custody assisting with the investigation.
