Two armed bandits terrorized and robbed an elderly couple at their Nouvelle Flanders (Crane), West Coast Demerara home and business place on Sunday.
Lennox Albert, 69, said that the men stole $500,000 in cash and his licensed firearm, among other items.
Albert told Stabroek News that the attack occurred around 8 pm, just after he had just padlocked his gate.
He said he was closing the shutters of his shop when he heard the gate shaking. By the time he turned around, one of the bandits had already scaled the fence and grabbed him around his waist.
The bandit ran through Albert’s pockets and took away his licensed Taurus revolver and ordered him not to say anything.
