Bandits grab $1M from contractor
Police are investigating a robbery which occurred last evening, with a Berbician man being relieved of $1M.
According to reports, 50-year-old Somdat Premchand, of Golden Fleece, West Coast Berbice, a contractor employed with DOCOL, was distributing Tex gas to Steve’s Service Station, Vlissengen Road, around 18:00 hours, when he was accosted by two young men.
Kaieteur News understands that one of the men was armed with a handgun which he placed to Premchand’s head demanding that he hand over all the cash he had.
Reports are that the man complied, offering the bandits a sack containing approximately $1M which represented the day’s sales.
The bandits then ran away, following which a report was made to the police.
