Four men on a fishing vessel were reportedly attacked and robbed by four masked men on Friday evening, off the foreshore of No 43 Village, Corentyne on Friday.

According to the police, the incident occurred at about 7.30 pm, when the captain of the vessel Michael and three crew members of a fishing vessel were attacked by the men who were all masked and armed with firearms.
Based on a release from the police, the fishing boat was reportedly proceeding to the East Coast Demerara when the armed men pulled up alongside in another vessel and held the crew at gunpoint.

They then took away a 48 hp outboard engine, a compass, GPS set, and 400 pounds of fish and escaped.

The police are investigating the matter.
