Minibus passenger robbed at stoplight
(Kaieteur News) – Police in Regional Division #4’A’ are investigating an alleged robbery under arms committed on a 33-year-old contractor at about 11:00hrs on Monday on Conversation Tree Road, Bel Air, Georgetown.
Investigations revealed that the victim was seated in the front passenger seat of a bus which had stopped at a traffic light, when two unidentified men approached on a black and red motorcycle.
The pillion rider reportedly dismounted, drew a handgun and demanded the victim’s grey haversack, valued at $5,000, which contained personal documents. When the victim refused, the suspect allegedly discharged a round, striking him in his left thigh.
The suspect then took the haversack, after which both men escaped south along Conversation Tree Road. The victim was taken for treatment at a private medical facility. His condition is listed as stable. Detectives processed the scene and recovered a spent warhead from the front passenger seat of the motor bus. The motorcycle allegedly used during the robbery was later found abandoned. CCTV footage is being reviewed, police said.
