ONE man has been arrested and remains in custody while police are hunting for the others since the March 19 armed robbery in which the National Credit Union office was broken into by three men, who fled with seven weapons and more than $10M in cash.
It is said that the man in custody may be the mastermind behind the robbery.
The bandits had tied up the lone security guard before torching a safe which had the weapons and cash.
Police had reported that at about 02:00 hrs on March 19, 2015, three men, one of whom was armed with a firearm, broke into the National Credit Union building at Regent and Oronoque Streets, Georgetown, and torched a safe and took away one .32 pistol, one .32 revolver and five 12-gauge shotguns along with 45 cartridges.
The unarmed watchman on duty at the compound was confronted and tied up by the perpetrators during the incident. Investigations are in progress.
Police have since reviewed the footage from nearby buildings because the ones installed at the said facility were removed by the robbers but they have an idea who they are looking for.
The robbers had removed the security cameras after which they went to a secured area where the company’s security service weapons were stored and took away the guns and cash and fled.
