According to police, three cutlass-wielding bandits robbed Yogeshwar Seemangall of Barama Compound, Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara (EBD) around 20:45 hrs.
Seemangall was at the time heading to the route 42 bus park. The three men approached him – one of them armed with a cutlass – and began beating him. In the process the men took away, his haversack and his Samsung smart phone valued $71,000. The men also carted off his ear pods.
Seemangall reported the matter right away and ranks responded immediately and cornered two of the bandits on Lombard Street, while the third got away. Police found the two men with the cutlass along with Seemangall’s ear pods and haversack in their possession. His cellphone, however, was not found.
