A 39-year-old woman corporal and a 23-year-old male private of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) were on Wednesday robbed on the seawall at the Rupert Craig Highway.

According to police reports, the victims were sitting on the seawall along the Rupert Craig Highway in the vicinity of the pump station, at around 19:45 hours when they were confronted by the suspects, two identifiable males, one armed with a knife, who approached them from the western direction on foot.

One of the two suspects pointed a knife at the victims demanding that they handed over their valuables. Fearful for her life, the female victim ran and left her bag, while the male victim was relieved of his cash.
It is alleged that the victims were robbed of one black handbag valued $4,500, one black Alcatel cellular phone valued $25,000 and $19,000 cash.

The suspects then made good their escape. Several persons in the area were questioned but no useful information was received. Further investigations are ongoing.
