Gun, cutlass toting bandits terrorise WBD family

October 24, 2015 By GuyanaTimes

A family of three was terrorised by five armed men on Thursday evening when they invaded a property at Samaroo Dam, Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara.
According to information, about 20:30h, the five men – one of whom was armed with a handgun and the others with cutlasses, entered the property of Andy Sookram and tied him up, along with his wife Eswardai Sookram and teenage son Andrew.
During the ordeal, the men demanded cash and jewellery but the trio claimed they did not have cash at home, so the invaders reportedly demanded the finger rings the family were wearing at the time.
After they ransacked the home and came up empty handed, the armed men then carted off two generators, a weeding machine, two gas cylinders and four mobile phones.
They made good their escape in a waiting vehicle. After a while the businessman managed to untie himself and raised an alarm. The Police were called and an investigation launched.
No arrest has been made.
