Three Kaieteur News (KN) employees were held at gunpoint and robbed yesterday in their Saffon Street office by bandits who later carted off a safe with millions of dollars in what the newspaper’s owner said was an inside job.
An ex-employee of the newspaper who was recognised despite being masked is now in custody and police are on the hunt for his two accomplices. The police last night named the former employee in custody as Ryan Wharton.
According to the police, the robbery occurred at about 1.15 am yesterday at the KN office in Charlestown.
