Bandits tie up three female guards after invading Busta Company

Jul 28, 2017 News

 

Three female guards, aged 64, 56 and 43, were left traumatised after a seven-man gang tied their hands and feet, during a pre-dawn robbery yesterday at a Busta Beverage Company site at Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
The men, who had two handguns, only managed to cart off a flat-screen television set, a digital video recorder, a power saw, and a mobile phone belonging to one of the guards, who are all Professional Guard Service (PGS) personnel.
Police sources said that the robbers gained entry by scaling the fence around 02.30 hrs. They first held a 56-year-old female guard at gunpoint, tied her up, then relieved her of two cell phones.
They then proceeded to the back of the compound and tied up a second guard, aged 64. Police said that one of the intruders went to the front gate security hut, held the third guard at gunpoint, then took her to the back of the compound. After tying up the third guard, one of the men entered a building in the compound and removed a television set, valued at $100,000 and an electric saw before fleeing.
While the facility was equipped with security cameras, police were unable to view the robbery, since the thieves had carted off the digital video recorder.
