Four motorbike bandits haul man out of slowly moving car
Screen grab from the CCTV footage that depicted the robbery staged on the Health International Inc.’s employee.
Kaieteur News – A CCTV camera has recorded a robbery where four motorbike bandits, one armed with a gun, hauled a man out of a slowly moving car on Lying Street, Charlestown. The robbery, according to police, took place around 10:00 hrs. on Monday. Investigators said that the man who was hauled out of the car is Derick Doodnauth, a resident of Eccles, East Bank Demerara, an employee of Health International Inc.
The CCTV footage showed that he was driving his car north along Lying Street and as he approached the intersection at Princess Street it could be observed that there was a traffic build-up. Doodnauth slowed down the car as the traffic moved slowly. Suddenly, two motorbikes rode up with four bandits, two of them dressed in green reflector vests.
The two pillion riders hopped off the motorbikes and ran up beside Doodnauth’s car. One of them dressed in the reflector vest and armed with a gun approached the driver’s door and pointed the gun at the driver. It appeared as if Doodnauth might have opened the door in fear and the bandit hauled him out and flung him on to the road as the car continued to move at a slow pace with its door still opened.
Doodnauth was seen lying face down on the road with his hands behind his head. The gunman proceeded to search his pockets while the other pillion rider chased after the moving car. He caught up with it and grabbed something from the front passenger’s seat before jumping on to one of the waiting motorbikes.
The gunman who was searching Doodnauth’s pockets ran quickly behind his accomplices and joined the other motorbike as they escaped in the western direction along Princess Street. Doodnauth then got up off the ground and walked behind his car, which was at the time still moving at a slow pace in the northern direction.
Kaieteur News has since learnt that the four motorbike bandits carted off an envelope containing cheques and over a million dollars in cash belonging to Doodnauth’s employer. He was at the time heading to deposit the money at a bank when the bandits pounced on him.
