According to police, the bandits robbed the security guard around 23:00hrs of one-point of diamond worth $200,000 along with his $156,000 gold chain. They also took away a briefcase containing his passport and birth certificate and relieved him of three Samsung cell phones valued at $43, 000, $32,000, and $26,000 respectively.
Police disclosed that the victim was walking along the road when four men in a silver-grey motor vehicle drove-up alongside him and stopped. The men came out of the vehicle, and one placed a handgun to his head while relieving him of his belongings.
They then reportedly made good their escape in a car bearing registration number PAB 9592.
