A security guard on duty at the Department of Culture, Youth and Sport’s Training Centre at Vrymen’s Erven, New Amsterdam, Berbice was robbed by armed bandits in an early morning attack yesterday.
The attack, which occurred around 2 am, was carried out by three bandits, one of whom was armed with a shotgun, while the others wielded cutlasses. Together they tied up Gansham Ri, 37, called ‘Mike,’ a security guard attached to Integrated Security Service and of Warren Number 19 Village, Corentyne, Berbice. They relieved him of a quantity of cash, two cellphones and other valuables he had at the time.
They also broke into and ransacked the practical workshop in the building before escaping.
