Corentyne bandits flee with victims’ car, other valuables

A 58-year-old overseas-based housewife and a 31-year-old male security guard were robbed of their car and other valuables early Monday morning at No.73 Village Corentyne.

The robbery was carried out by two unidentifiable males, police said in a release. The articles stolen include: One gold chain valued $70,000; two gold rings valued $80,000; one Samsung cellphone valued $40,000; one Clark’s sneakers valued $16,000; one backpack valued $4,000 and one white (old model) Fielder wagon # PTT 864.

Enquiries revealed that the victims secured their home by all means mentioned and went to a wake house about 21:00 hours on 2021-10-24 in the said village.  Upon returning home at about 00:45 hours the female claims she was napping while waiting on her son to return.

She was awakened by two males dressed in dark coloured clothing with masks on their faces and gloves on their hands. One of them pointed a small black gun to her head and demanded that she takes off her gold chain and two gold finger rings, while the other bandit went into the bedroom.

Thereafter they went downstairs where they were confronted by the second victim who had just driven into the yard. Upon seeing the bandits he ran and left the car with the keys in the ignition.

The two bandits then took the car and made good their escape.
Forced entry was seen to the door of the lower flat. Investigations are on going.
