Police on the West Coast of Demerara are currently searching for three men whom they believe were responsible for a robbery at a Chinese Restaurant in Zeelugt on the West Coast of Demerara.
This newspaper was told that around 23:30 hours on Friday last, three men stormed the Chand Chang Chinese Restaurant.
One of the men was armed with a handgun, while the two other accomplices carried a knife and a cutlass. Reports are that the proprietor of the Restaurant, Rui Jiang and his reputed wife Shemina Hendricks had moments before the robbery locked up the business.
It was when the proprietor came into his yard to visit the restroom he was attacked by one of the three men who ordered him back into the house.
Once in the house the men held the proprietor and his reputed wife and began making demands for cash and other valuables.
A source close to the investigation told this publication that the robbers made off with $30,000, an Mp 4 player, two cell phones and a quantity of jewellery.
The men fled the area after threatening their victims. The matter was immediately reported.
Acting on information received, the police went to a house in the area, sometime over the weekend, where they recovered the cutlass which was allegedly used in the attack.
The suspect who occupied the premises which was searched was not at the house at the time.
The matter is being further investigated.
