Agricola bandits caught after minibus robbery

May 26, 2015 News

Quick response by the police resulted in the arrest of two men in Agricola, minutes after they reportedly robbed a minibus load of passengers.
The men struck about 13:30 hours yesterday then tried to seek refuge in the East Bank Demerara community which is sometimes referred to as a haven for small time criminals.
Reports reaching this newspaper stated that the two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, joined the minibus as passengers. When the vehicle reached Eccles they requested that the driver stop to let them off.
Immediately after exiting the bus, the bandit with the gun held up the other passengers and his accomplice took away jewellery and cash and escaped.
However, their escape was short-lived. The police responded quickly to the report and swooped down on the nearby village of Agricola, where they apprehended the men and recovered a stolen gold chain.
