Three held for Triumph robbery

Mar 29, 2010 News

Three persons have being arrested following the robbery and severe beating of Triumph, East Coast Demerara businessman Mohamed Husain.
Husain was beaten on Friday night by three-gun toting bandits, who pretended to be customers.
The man received a chop to the head and was beaten in his face with a gun.
His entire face is bruised and both eyes are swollen. His condition is listed as stable.
Husain and his wife, Geeta, operate an off license liquor shop at their Surratt Drive home.
Yesterday at the hospital, his wife recounted that the ordeal lasted about 15 minutes. The woman explained that the shop had already closed for the day, but the front door was still open.
She said that one of the bandits pretended to be a customer and asked to purchase a beverage.
The woman said the man left and returned within 10 minutes, but she was in the bathroom so she sent her husband to tend to him.
Geeta said she heard her husband scream, so she went to see what happened. The woman was confronted by two bandits; another bandit was at the gate as a lookout. She said that the bandits immediately went to the drawer which held the day’s earnings, amounting to $10,000.
Not satisfied, the bandits still demanded more money from the couple. The woman said she told them they did not have any more money.
The bandits then started hitting Husain in the head with their guns as his wife stood watching helplessly.
The woman said she screamed out and told them the family had jewellery upstairs and they could take everything.
The bandits managed to cart off a quantity of gold jewellery and electronic devices.
Quick action by the police helped to capture three suspects.
Police sources yesterday told this newspaper that two of the men hailed from Plaisance and another from Good Hope on the East Coast of Demerara. They are to be placed on an identification parade.
