Two men, one armed and one masked have robbed a sand and lumber yard owned by Region Six Chairman David Armogan.
The incident took place on Wednesday at Number 2 Village, Canje, Region Six (East Berbice/Corentyne).

Reports are that about 12:30h, two men entered the lumber yard and went directly to the office. At the time, the cashier, 58-year-old Boarof was the only person in the office. As the robbers entered the building, two shots were discharged from the hand gun one of them was carrying.

Boarof was ordered to hand over all of the money from the cash draw. After a little hesitation which was followed by threats to his life, the cashier complied and gave the men the day’s sales which amounted to $152,000.

The men quickly left on foot and disappeared into the nearby community. The Police were summoned and took evidence from the scene which might lead to the capture of the perpetrators. However, up to press time, no arrests have been made.
Investigations continue.
