Bicycle bandits rob hapless driver

–at Goed Fortuin Housing Scheme

TWO bandits on bicycles robbed a driver on Thursday after creating a diversion at Goed Fortuin Housing Scheme, West Bank Demerara.

The 42-year-old driver was robbed of one LG cell-phone, one transition lens and
$10,000.

Reports indicate that the driver was heading west through the Goed Fortuin Scheme, and while passing the suspects, who were on a pedal cycle at the southern side of the road on a bridge, he heard one of them shout, “Who is you coming through this area?”

The victim claimed that as he continued driving west to pick up a family member, he noticed the two suspects on the bicycle behind his vehicle.
As they drew alongside the vehicle, one of the suspects hit it with the palm of his hand, causing the victim to stop and disembark. And as he did so, one of the suspects tossed the bicycle at him.

Then, realising that they had him well and truly cornered, they both approached the hapless driver, and proceeded to kick and cuff him until he fell to the ground.

And after relieving him of whatever valuables and money he had on him and in the vehicle, they decided to call it a day and beat a hasty retreat.
The matter was duly reported to the police, but efforts made to locate the culprits have thus far proven futile.
