Masked men last Friday robbed a Cevons Waste Management employee as she was paying salaries to workers, shooting a driver of the company in his leg during the commission of the crime.
According to a release from the Guyana Police Force, 31-year-old Ruth Chase was paying salaries to other employees at the company’s Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt office when two men wearing masks entered the building. One of the suspects drew a firearm from his waist and discharged two rounds, one of which hit the company’s 33-year-old driver Berthony Cadeau.
The release said that the men then relieved Chase of one cell phone without sim valued $200,000 and an undisclosed amount of cash, property of Cevons Waste Management. They then exited the building and escaped on a black motorcycle, make, and registration number unknown.
This matter was reported to the police and the scene visited and processed. Ranks recovered two .32 spent shells and a warhead, which were marked, sealed, and lodged at the police station.
Cadeau was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital for medical attention.
Investigations are ongoing.
