Shabana Lake with her scarred neck yesterday.

She told the Guyana Chronicle she was with two friends when, about 12:15h, as they were going to purchase beverages, they all became victims.

Lake said a knife was placed to her neck by one of the robbers and his accomplice grabbed one of her friend’s cellular phone.

Lake said the blade scraped off a piece of her skin when the holder applied pressure to her neck after she hesitated to hand over her phone.

The schoolgirl said both her friends were relieved of theirs, as well, at knifepoint, by the attackers who did not utter any words but brandished the weapons menacingly.

The girls were left traumatised by another of the recent daylight robberies perpetrated by teenagers, prompting calls by parents for greater Police presence at outdoor activities for schoolchildren.
