A security guard is counting his lucky stars after two armed men gun-butted him during a daring robbery yesterday at the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC)’s branch at the junction of Carmichael and Lamaha Streets in Georgetown.

According to information received, the gunmen entered the Post Office around 09:10 hrs and held up the staffers and a few customers who were standing in the line, waiting to pay their bills and collect their pension. It is unclear whether any customers were robbed.

Customers were advised to utilize the services at any other post office within their proximity.
