A Chinese businesswoman, 25-year-old, Lie Yang, of Seaforth Street Campbellville, is now nursing a cut to the neck after she was attacked by bandits around 17:45 hrs yesterday afternoon.
The business that was robbed.
According to the woman five men, one whom was armed with a knife, approached her while she was inside the Sunshine Bin Fashion Store that she owns and operates at Lot 12 America Street, Georgetown with an employee.
