– wanted bulletin issued for security guard

Police are actively investigating an alleged armed robbery involving G$13.1 million, reportedly carried out by an on-duty security guard at the Fantasy Game Lounge, located within Giftland Mall, Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara. The incident occurred around 05:30hrs on Sunday, June 22, 2025.

The stolen cash is said to be the property of Sylvia Thomas. The primary suspect is a 24-year-old security guard attached to Castle Security, who was assigned to the Fantasy Game Lounge at the time of the incident. He was armed with a 9mm service pistol and 17 rounds of ammunition.

According to the police report, 21-year-old Raywat Sankar, a supervisor at Fantasy Game Lounge, was on duty along with a 27-year-old female floor supervisor. Sankar reportedly exited the cashier area to assist in cleaning the gaming floor, as there were no customers present.

During this time, the armed suspect allegedly approached both staff members, brandished the firearm, and discharged a round into the air before demanding that Sankar open the electronic door to the cashier’s room.
Complying with the order, Sankar and the female supervisor were forced into the cashier’s room, where the suspect instructed Sankar to open the vault and place all of the money into a garbage basket. The suspect then exited the building with the cash.

Surveillance footage from Giftland Mall captured the suspect walking out along the Giftland access road before turning west onto the Railway Embankment, where he entered a waiting motorcar bearing license plate PZZ 5690, which then drove off westward.

Detectives responding to the scene recovered a single 9mm spent shell. Subsequent efforts to locate the suspect have so far proven unsuccessful. A search of the suspect’s home yielded no recovery of the stolen cash, and efforts are ongoing to trace the getaway vehicle.
The investigation remains active as law enforcement continues to pursue leads.
