A Lusignan businessman was robbed of $12M by four men, one of whom was armed with a gun, on Monday along the LBI Public Road, East Coast Demerara, a police press release said yesterday.
According to reports, Asif Shaffie, who was accompanied by a friend, was driving his vehicle towards Georgetown. At LBI at approximately 11:30 am a white motor car with four men, bearing number plates later discovered to be false, pulled up alongside and forced him to stop his vehicle.
