A Diamond, East Bank Demerara shop owner was left traumatised yesterday morning after armed bandits, posing as customers, robbed her of over $600,000 in cash and jewellery.
The attack, during which a gun was placed into the mouth of Peaches Bacchus, occurred around 10 am yesterday at her Section B, Block X, Diamond shop.
A police source told Stabroek News that Bacchus was in her shop when the two men, both of whom were armed with handguns, entered under the pretext of purchasing a five-gallon bottle of water.
