A 41-year-old taxi driver was robbed after three bandits, two of whom were armed with guns, invaded his home at around 23:10hrs on Friday.

Reports indicate that Reshi Pasha of Doctor Dam, La Grange, West Bank Demerara, was assaulted and robbed of $230,000 in cash, his cellphone, a gold chain, and other electronics.

On the night in question, the victim, who lives with his mother, drove his vehicle into his yard and parked. He exited and while proceeding to his front door he turned around and saw three males with jerseys covering their faces, coming towards him.

He ran to the back of the yard and was followed by two of the men. He tried to run around the other side of his house where he was confronted by the other male who was armed with a hand gun.

One of the suspects then dealt him several lashes to his face and took him at gunpoint to his door and demanded he open it.

At this point, the victim’s mother saw the commotion and opened the door, which allowed all three of the suspects to enter the house.

Two of the suspects proceeded to ransack the house while the other suspect held the victim at gunpoint.

The robbers then collected the valuables and made good their escape through the front door.

Pasha went to the West Demerara hospital where he was treated and sent away while a report was made to the police.
