Three fishermen of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, were robbed at sea Saturday night by three armed men. At about 20:00hrs, Vijai Persaud, 30, and two others were at sea some 30 miles off the Mahaicony foreshore when a boat with the
three men came up alongside. The pirates held the fishermen at gunpoint and robbed them of three cell phones, a quantity of
jewellery, and $20,000 in cash.
The armed men then took the fishermen close to the Mahaica foreshore where they were put off and then escaped with both vessels.
The Police are investigating.
