A resident of Diamond, on the East Bank of Demerara, was yesterday morning robbed of his gold chain by two men who held him at gunpoint.
However, police said public-spirited citizens, who were present, gave chase and managed to apprehend one of the suspects, an 18-year-old unemployed resident of Kaneville, East Bank Demerara.
A source told Stabroek News that the victim was standing on the Diamond Access Road when the two robbers, one armed with a weapon, approached him.
