Two officials from A H&L Kissoon’s Limited were left traumatised yesterday, after a lone gunman grabbed a $2M payroll from them as they sat in a car on Camp Street.
Police said that the officials had just uplifted the cash from Demerara Bank Limited around 13:00 hrs and were heading to the Kissoon’s branch in Industrial Site, Ruimveldt, when the robbery occurred.
According to reports, the employees entered a hire car and were in the vicinity of Camp Street and Brickdam when the driver was forced to slow down in heavy traffic.
At that point, the gunman exited a blue car that was behind them.
He then went to the car that was transporting the Kissoon staff and grabbed the payroll, which was in a haversack.
The gunman then fled into Brickdam.
The incident was reported at the Brickdam Police Station.
