– One nabbed
A 26-year-old businesswoman from Lethem was last evening held at gunpoint by two motorcyclists and robbed of $6.3M in the vicinity of Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara. The incident occurred at around 18:00hrs.
Kaieteur News understands that the woman who had just landed at the Ogle International Airport was in a car at a nearby traffic light when two men on motorcycles blocked their path.
The men then approached the car with their guns pointing at the woman and her driver, while demanding money.
In grabbing all that they could find, the men abandoned their bikes and escaped in a car which later ended up in a nearby ditch at Turkeyen, near UG Road.
One of the robbers did not manage to escape, and was swiftly apprehended by police. He has reportedly identified his accomplice.
Kaieteur News understands that the getaway car is believed to be owned by another criminal who is known to the police.
Apart from the large quantity of cash, the robbers also took an ounce of gold, a cell phone, and some documents, none of which were retrieved.
Investigations are ongoing.
