Bandit grabs $400k and car keys from money changer

Feb 12, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- A 45-year-old money changer was robbed of over $400,000 and his car key on Tuesday morning along the Rosignol Public Road, West Bank Berbice.

Jaipaul Heeralall, also known as ‘Drakes’ who resides at Lot 14 “B” Residential Dam, Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice (WCB), was approached by a suspect armed with a coloured handgun. The robber was dressed in a long-sleeve checked shirt, black pants, slippers, riding gloves, and a full-face helmet, while riding a motorcycle (registration unknown).

Police reported that around 10:00 hrs., Heeralall left his home in his white Spacio car (#PRR 4810), carrying the cash to conduct his trade on Rosignol Public Road. He was then approached by the suspect, who held him at gunpoint and demanded that he hand over his belongings.

“The victim then handed over the money that was in his hand, along with his car key to the suspect, who then went into his car for more money but did not find any,” police said.

The suspect stole between $400,000 and $500,000 in cash before fleeing the scene on his motorcycle in a southern direction. No shots were fired during the robbery.

Police canvassed the area for CCTV footage, which was located, and extractions are to be done. Further checks revealed that the suspect was seen passing through the Berbice River Bridge Toll area at 10:02 hrs. on the same day, without paying the toll. He then made his escape over the bridge.

Investigations are ongoing.
