JASPER Carter, a presidential guard of Lot 103 Middle Road, La Penitence, is grateful to be alive today after he was robbed at gunpoint just in front his home. Twenty-eight-year-old Carter, originally of Leguan, on the Essequibo River, was exiting his yard around 07:00hrs when two men on bicycles rode up to him and began using a series of expletives, and demanding whatever he had.

Carter told the Chronicle that that one of the men pulled out a .38 revolver and pointed it him; and that while one stripped him of his gold chain and ring, the other was saying, “Shoot him! Shoot him!”
Carter’s total losses have amounted to about $240,000. By the time his neighbours went to his aid, the two men had made good their escape east of Middle Road.
This is the third time that Carter has been robbed in the same area, and he could not believe how the entire robbery took place within about two minutes. “Thank God I came out alive,” he said.
His report is being looked at by the Ruimveldt Police Station.
