TWO bandits robbed a policeman on America and Longden Streets, Georgetown of cash and his cell phone on New Year’s Day.

Reports indicate that the cop was walking along Longden Street when he was confronted by the bandits in the vicinity of a store called “Fazia”. One of the perpetrators pointed a long knife at his stomach while the other took away his cellular phone and cash.

They both escaped on foot.
Meanwhile, on Old Year’s Day, a 22-year-old painter of East Ruimveldt Back Circle was robbed by two bandits of his gold chain, cell phone and cash in East La Penitence, Georgetown.

Reports indicate that the painter was walking north over the East La Penitence Bridge heading towards Freeman Street, when he passed the robbers sitting on the bridge.
“As he passed them, one of the suspects held on to his neck from behind and snatch off the gold chain from around his neck. The man resisted and the other robber lashed him to his forehead with a hand gun. The man then stayed still and the robbers searched his pants pockets,” one eyewitness said.

The bandits then made good their escape.
