Four men, including one armed with what appeared to be a submachine gun, robbed a Parika, East Bank Essequibo bar and almost a dozen patrons on Friday night.
An undisclosed amount of cash was taken in the attack, which was committed just after 11 pm and lasted for approximately five minutes.
A witness told Sunday Stabroek that the man armed with the high-powered weapon entered the bar and immediately went to retrieve the cash from behind the counter, while three others robbed the customers of cash and other valuables.
