A 67-YEAR-OLD representative of the Guyana Deaf Mission was on Wednesday evening robbed by a gunman who is suspected to have trailed him from a bank to his office on Vlissengen Road, Kitty, Georgetown.

Based on reports received, Lawrence Clarke, the Director of the Guyana Deaf Mission had just withdrawn a sum of cash from a city bank and arrived at his office.

However, approximately 10 minutes after arriving, Clarke said he responded to a knock at his door and upon opening it, a man, armed with a gun, pushed his way into the office.

The bandit allegedly demanded that Clarke turn over his cash. However, before he could comply, the bandit picked up a haversack which was lying nearby and fled the scene.

Outside, the victim said he observed that a man on a motorcycle was waiting for the gunman. The duo then drove south along Vlissengen Road.

Clarke reportedly lost over $35,000 in cash and other valuables. A report was made to the police as investigations continue.
