Banks employees robbed, locked in delivery truck

Oct 21, 2016 News

Salesman Trevor Thom, of West Ruimveldt, and two porters, all employees of Banks DIH Limited, were allegedly robbed of an undisclosed sum of cash.
The alleged robbery took place at about 19:00hrs Wednesday night at Beterverwagting Public Road, East Coast Demerara, by three men, one armed with a handgun.
It was reported that the driver and porters were in the company’s vehicle proceeding west, when they were allegedly intercepted by a dark-coloured motor car. The car suddenly stopped in front of the delivery truck, causing Thom to slam on the brakes.
The men subsequently exited the motor car, approached the Banks DIH delivery truck and relieved the occupants of the day’s earnings which was in the truck.
The employees were placed at the back of the truck and bound with duct tape. Kaieteur News was informed that the trio was subsequently freed by a passer-by who heard them banging the walls of the truck which was parked at Enmore Railway Embankment.
