AN 18-year-old male vendor of Tuschen New Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo was, on Friday night, robbed by two bandits who were armed with a cutlass.

Among the items taken is a five-pennyweight gold chain valued at $65,000; two Samsung Galaxy cellular phones (A10 and A20) valued at $90,000 and $10,000 in cash.
Police said the victim was walking south along the Tuschen access road heading home at around 21:30 hours when the two suspects rode up alongside him on a bicycle.

They then dismounted and one of the suspects placed a cutlass to his neck and told him to hand over everything. The other suspect then relieved him of the items and they both escaped on the said bicycle. Investigations are ongoing.
