The police in Berbice have arrested three suspects who they believe were behind a vicious Christmas Day robbery in Black Bush Polder, which left an elderly couple nursing injuries about their bodies.
The three men are expected to be placed before the court today.
Marvin Duncan, 79, owner of a general store and parlour at Lot 135 ‘A’ Zambia, Mibicuri South, Black Bush Polder, yesterday related that on Christmas Day, three men invaded his home and stole over $500,000 in cash and jewellery, along with several other items.
Duncan revealed that the masked men, armed with a gun each and one cutlass, carried out the attack. The perpetrators assaulted Duncan and his wife about their bodies.
