POLICE are investigating an armed robbery that occurred Tuesday afternoon in the Lamaha Park squatting area, North Ruimveldt, where three persons were robbed at gunpoint by two armed bandits.
The incident took place around 14:30 hrs on September 30, when a 33-year-old businesswoman, a 36-year-old foreign national, and a 27-year-old construction worker were inside a shop.
They were confronted by two suspects who brandished firearms, threatened to shoot them, and ordered them to comply.
The bandits relieved the victims of cash, jewellery, and cell phones before instructing them to lie face down. The suspects then fled the scene on foot in an easterly direction.
Police ranks, led by a Detective Inspector, responded and conducted preliminary investigations. CCTV cameras were spotted in the area and will be reviewed. Persons nearby were questioned, but the suspects have not yet been apprehended.
The Guyana Police Force said investigations are continuing.
