-former pump attendant, three others captured

Police have detained a former pump attendant and three others in connection with a brazen robbery shortly after midnight yesterday at a gas station opposite the Providence Police Station.
The men, aged 20, 19 and 18, allegedly made off with $160,000 from Narine’s Gas Station after threatening a female pump attendant with knives and screwdrivers.
Police said that the victim identified one of the suspects who had worked as a pump attendant at the same gas station.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspects have confessed and that police have recovered $40,000 of the stolen money.
They have also confiscated a pair of boots that one of the alleged robbers bought with his share of the cash.
According to reports, pump attendant Hemwantie Persaud was counting the day’s earnings in a room at the filling station when the three youths entered the premises.
Threatening the pump attendant with knives, the robbers then forced her to hand over $160,000 before fleeing.
Police, acting on information, arrested the suspects yesterday afternoon at their homes in Farm Squatting Area and at Covent Gardens, East Bank Demerara.
They were detained at the Providence Police Station and are likely to be charged shortly.
