Two pastors were yesterday afternoon robbed at gunpoint by two suspects on a motorcycle on Sheriff Street, Georgetown, while they were heading to a supermarket.
The victims are a 33-year-old male pastor and a 36-year-old female pastor. The male pastor was robbed of one brown Timberland wallet containing a national identification (ID) card, driver’s licence, NIS card, Republic Bank card, Republic Visa Travel Money card, and $2,000 in cash. Meanwhile the female victim was robbed of one gold iPhone XS Max valued at $250,000, a black wallet valued at $2,000, Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) ID card, Guyana ID card, T&T driver’s licence, T&T NIS card, $3,000 in cash and a red Francisco handbag valued $10,000.
According to a police report, the victims were on their way to a supermarket when at about 1.40 pm yesterday in the vicinity of Nirva Superstore on Sheriff Street they were approached by two men on a black motorcycle. The pillion rider dismounted and demanded that the victims hand over their belongings which they refused to do. The suspect then discharged a round in their direction which did not hit them but prompted them to give up their belongings.
The perpetrators took possession of the items and subsequently escaped.
