(Kaieteur News) – Police have arrested two young men following an intelligence-led operation carried out on Friday, April 10, 2026, between 15:00 hrs and 17:00 hrs at Mocha, East Bank Demerara.

The suspects, a 22-year-old vendor and a 21-year-old construction worker, both of Barnwell North, Mocha, were taken into custody in connection with separate robbery under arms and break-and-enter and larceny incidents reported earlier this month.

Investigators allege, according to a police press release, that the duo was involved in the armed robbery of a Chinese-owned supermarket at Goed Fortuin, West Coast Demerara, on April 6, 2026.
