A bakery delivery truck attached to Budram’s Bakery, of Enmore, East Coast Demerara, was yesterday robbed as it was delivering bread to a shop in Sophia.
The salesman for the truck was reportedly gunbutted to the head and robbed of $40,000 while the driver, Mohamed Rahaman 24, of Foulis, East Coast Demerara, was also gunbutted to the head and shot in his left arm.
The truck was delivering bread to Garraway’s Shop in ‘B’ Field Sophia, when an armed bandit attacked the salesman gunbutted him and relieved him of the cash.
The driver on realizing what was happening, allegedly advanced to the bandit with a piece of wood to defend his associate but was himself gunbutted and shot.  “I hear gunshots and I run, then I feel a burning sensation in my arm, when I look down then I realize I get shot,” Rahaman said.
The bandit after robbing the delivery truck rode off with his loot on a BMX bicycle.
The truck driver was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was treated for his head and gunshot wounds and released.
He told Kaieteur News that two shots were fired by the bandit. He believes one was fired at the salesman, while the other was fired at him during their altercation. The shot fired at the salesman missed; while he was shot in the arm.
He described the attacker as being short with a low cut hair. The police have taken statements from the victims.
