TWO armed bandits on Thursday robbed two pump attendants of their night’s sales at the Hope Service Station, East Bank Demerara and escaped in a silver coloured Toyota Allion with licence plate, PSS 400.

Reports indicate that both men were on duty when the silver car drove up and the two robbers, firearms drawn, exited from the back seat.

Holding the pump attendants at gunpoint, they ordered one to hand over the night’s takings and the other his cellular phone. They then returned to the car in which they arrived and were whisked away.

Earlier that same day, a 51-year-old receptionist at Secret Villa Hotel, Land of Canaan Old Road, East Bank Demerara, was also robbed by two armed men, one carrying a gun and the other a knife.

And while their mode of transportation was a silver Toyota Premio motorcar, they too travelled in the back seat of the car.

But there the similarity ends as this pair pretended to be interested in booking a room, and as soon as the receptionist opened the gate, one of the men pulled out a handgun, pointed it in her direction while his accomplice relieved her of her valuables before making good their escape.
