Midmorning robbery at woodlands hospital

Jul 02, 2013 News

Two gunmen escaped with $1.1 million after they robbed Woodlands Hospital around 9: 00 am yesterday morning.
Sattie Persaud, 47, an Accounts Clerk attached to the Woodlands Hospital, was reportedly conveying a bag with $1.1M to the hospital’s Accounts Office when she was held up by two men, one of whom was armed with a firearm.
Eyewitnesses say that the men took away the cash and Persaud’s cell phone before escaping.
Kaieteur News understands that the men had posed as patients who were seeking medical attention. “They were standing in line as normal patients,” an eyewitness said.
This newspaper was told that the suspects ran out of the hospital and headed north toward Lamaha Street, where they attempted to join a minibus.
According to another witness, the suspects ran into Waterloo Street where they hijacked a motorcar.
However, this publication was told that the driver is now a suspect in the crime as he had been arrested and is in police custody assisting with the investigations.
