TWO bandits, in the wee hours of Thursday morning, robbed two persons at their Fair’s Rust Extension, McKenzie, Linden residence.
The robbery under arms was committed on a 48-year-old labourer and a 21-year-old male, both unemployed.
Reports indicated that both victims were asleep when the 21-year-old man was awakened by a knocking sound on the door. Upon checking, he was confronted by one of the robbers in front of the door who held him at gunpoint.

The other bandit who was armed with the crowbar turned his attention to the labourer and demanded gold and cash while he ransacked the home.
The robber found a combined total of $114,000 in cash while the victims were also relieved of their cellphones.
The victims were taken outside where the suspect, armed with the gun, discharged a round in the air and they both made good their escape, on foot, in a southern direction.

A report was made, via telephone, and the police visited the scene where one 9mm spent shell and one warhead were recovered.
Subsequently, at 02:05 hours, the said day, a man, fitting the description of one of the suspects, showed up at the Linden Hospital Complex with what appeared to be a gunshot injury to his left upper thigh.

He was seen by a doctor on duty and admitted as a patient, under police guard, as investigations continue.
