-Escape with couple’s car, cash and jewellery

Police were last night hunting for four bandits who made off with a motorcar, cash, jewellery and other valuables following a brazen robbery at Charles and Janice Cheap Store, located at Recht-Door-Zee; Parfait Harmonie, West Bank Demerara.
According to reports, Charles James and his wife, Janice Mc lean, were tending to customers in their store at around 20:30 hrs, when four men entered the premises. Kaieteur News understands that one of the bandits went to the upper flat, where he tied up the couple’s two daughters.
Meanwhile, the other robbers, who had a firearm, ordered the couple and their customers to lie on the ground. They then forced the victims to hand over an undisclosed sum of cash, jewellery and other valuables, as well as their mobile phones.
Kaieteur News was told that after disabling several security cameras, the men loaded their booty into Mr. James’ blue Toyota Allion, PFF 1361. They reportedly then forced the businessman to accompany them in the vehicle, before ordering him out of the car when they were some distance away from the scene of the robbery.
A source said that the robbery was recorded on one of the remaining security cameras at the premises that the bandits failed to disable.
Ranks at La Grange Station were notified about the robbery and were still trying to locate the robbers and the stolen car at press time.
