Gunman snatches $2M from Stabroek Market businesswoman

Mar 12, 2013 News

 

Up to late last night the police were on the hunt for three men in what purported to be a Green Ice taxi HB 9532 after they had committed a daring robbery on a Stabroek Market businesswoman.
The woman was relieved on $2.2M in cash and other articles by one of the men just as she was about to enter her yard at Atlantic Gardens, East Coast Demerara, around 17:55 hours.
From all indications, the bandits trailed the woman from her business in the city all the way up to the East Coast where they used the opportunity to strike.
Reports reaching this newspaper stated that Amin and her husband had arrived at their home and her husband exited the vehicle to open the gate.
According to a source, the businesswoman who was carrying a bag with the cash also exited the vehicle and was standing near the door when a gunman exited the taxi which had driven up and rushed up to her.
The woman screamed while her husband remained transfixed by the suddenness of the attack.
The bandit placed a gun to the back of the woman’s head and ordered her to shut up while threatening to shoot her.
He then took away the bag, her cellular phone and some other valuables before returning to the car which sped away.
The matter was reported to the police but by the time they went into action, the men had already fled the area.
