A BUS driver who stopped, Sunday night, at Swan Village, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, to “cool down” his overheated minibus was robbed of the vehicle and $20,000 cash by two armed bandits.

Reports indicated that the victim pulled over in the vicinity of Swan Village around 21:00hrs to give the minibus some rest, when the driver saw a dark-coloured car pull up behind his bus and two men exited.
The bandits reportedly ran up to the bus and one of the men pulled out a black handgun from his waist and held the driver at gunpoint.

He was pulled out of the bus, searched and relieved of $20,000 cash. The men then drove away with the Toyota Pitbull minibus with registration BWW 1914, valued $2,980,000.
A report was later made at the Kuru Kururu Police Outpost as investigations continue.
