The Tirbeni Residence, where the bandits carried out their robbery and assault.
A 36-year-old businessman is now a patient at a city hospital after he was attacked by bandits who invaded his home early yesterday morning.
The victim has been identified as Dhaniram Tirbeni, of Lot 13 Studley Park, Canal Number One Polder, West Bank Demerara.
According to reports, four masked gunmen forced their way into Tirbeni’s home some time around 1:00hr whilst he, his wife and two children were asleep.
The man was reportedly awakened by gun butts. He was later instructed to kneel beside his wife on the floor and to put his hands behind his head. The bandits then demanded from the duo their cash and jewellery.
It was reported also, that as two of the men stood watch over the businessman and his wife, the other two began ransacking the house.
One of the bandits then shot the businessman several times before fleeing with his accomplices with an undisclosed amount of cash and valuables.
Relatives were quickly summoned and the businessman was rushed to the Woodlands Hospital where he is now nursing lacerations to his head and gunshot wounds. He was said to be in a stable condition. His family was medically examined and later discharged from the hospital, a source disclosed.
The police are currently investigating the matter.

Everyday I ask myself the same question, what is the government in Guyana doing about the crimes that are happening on a daily basics???? Oh my goodness, thank God they did not kill him. You have to live in your home like you are in prison, grills everywhere and make sure you have at least four fire extinguishers. Granger put these cops to work and work hard and make sure all neighborhoods are being patrolled by police driving through all hours of the day.
