THREE masked armed robbers clad in black clothing robbed a family of greens vendors of almost $1.6M in valuables and beat one in the process at their Enmore, East Coast Demerara home on Tuesday.

According to reports, the three suspects armed with handguns gained entry to the first home at Lot 57 Hope West, Enmore, where Chatterpaul Persaud called “Krishna” and his wife Melenie Deonarine lived.

The men tied up their victims and assaulted the husband, a greens vendor, before relieving them of cash and jewellery.

The bandits then went into the second house in the yard, where they tied up Krishna’s parents, Ghansham and Hemawattie Persaud before robbing them of cash and jewellery.

According to reports, the bandits carted off an estimated $1.5 million worth of jewellery and over $50,000 in cash.
