City gas stations under bandit attacks

Feb 03, 2011 News

Bandits continued to target gas stations across the city. For three consecutive nights they hit gas stations in the city and in Greater Georgetown.
Last night’s attack saw the bandits leaving empty-handed after they had set their sights on the Esso Service Centre on Vlissengen Road, Kitty.
It is the third attack on gas stations for the week, with the Shell facility on Camp and New Market Streets and Esso in McDoom also targeted.
Employees at the Esso Service Centre on Vlissengen Road who asked to remain unnamed, said that shortly after 21:00hrs, two men on a black “CG” motorcycle pulled up.
“Nobody was paying them any mind because is customer we dealing with. I went to drop some cash and then I see this man with a small gun by he side.”
According to the pump attendant, the man, relatively young, was calmly tumbling some drawers of a desk located by the pumps. “I tell myself that nobody could do that like that and I tell de guard to call he base.”
Unable to find anything in the drawers, the gunman jumped on the motorcycle and they left calmly.
On Tuesday, two men used handguns to hold up two pump attendants at the Shell Gas Station on Camp and New Market Streets. They are believed to have escaped with around $10,000 in cash. On Monday night, gunmen attacked the Esso Gas Station at McDoom Village, East Bank Demerara, taking an undisclosed sum. The men left in a car.
