According to a police report the two receptionists, both from Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara, were held up at their workplace by two unidentified men, one armed with a handgun.

Shortly after, another male entered the building, his face wrapped with a grey cloth. He had on a black jersey and three-quarter pants. Both suspects then started to demand money from the two receptionists.
