According to police reports, Bethune who is a minibus operator was working his regular route. He left Georgetown around 12:00Hrs to head to Kawakawni. However, around 17:15Hrs the same day while driving through Agricola, a silver Runnix motor car drove in front of him. The car with registration number unknown blocked Bethune’s path while the accused and another male who was on a bicycle rode to the front of the bus. They dismounted the said bicycle and Williams then pulled out a metal object from his pants, which appeared to be a gun and robbed Buthane and the occupants of the bus at gunpoint. The duo then escaped on the bicycle and the matter was reported.
