Armed robbery in Berbice
A gunman and his accomplice robbed a businessman, Jerad Isaacs, of approximately $1.5 million in cash, his cellular phone and his jeep (GHH 768), at approximately 19:00 hours on Monday night, at Strand Avenue, New Amsterdam in Berbice.
Reports have said that Isaacs had parked his vehicle on Strand Avenue, and had gone to a commercial bank to make a deposit. He left his brother, Gregory Isaacs and the $1.5 million in the vehicle.
At this point in time, the two bandits rode up to the vehicle on a bicycle.
They held Gregory at gunpoint and ordered him from the vehicle.
The criminals took the vehicle and left. The vehicle was discovered abandoned later at High Dam, New Amsterdam.
Speaking with Gregory, who is visiting with Jerad, he explained that his brother has a distribution business where he distributes drinks around New Amsterdam. Gregory said that he thought that the bandits may have tailed them to the bank.
“Bandits don’t just pop up like that,” said Gregory.
