Two female students were on Monday night robbed at knife-point by a motorcycle gang just after finishing classes at Critchlow Labour College.
Police yesterday said the females were pounced upon at approximately 21:00 hrs as they were waiting on transportation.
Investigations revealed that the females, a 20-year-old of Camp Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, and a 28-year-old of Block 8, Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, were robbed at knife-point by eight male suspects who rode up to them on motorcycles.
During the attack the men stole a Samsung Galaxy cell phone valued $30,000, and $23,000 cash from the 20-year-old victim while her colleague was relieved of a Samsung A30 cell phone valued $57,000 and $8,000 cash.
One of the eight bandits was armed with a knife and it was he who pointed it at the victims in a menacing manner while the other gang members relieved them of their valuables.
After robbing their victims, the suspects then escaped west along Woolford Avenue and onto Albert Street.
Investigations are ongoing.
