Armed bandits rob Corentyne women

February 27, 2016 By GuyanaTimes

A market vendor who operates at the Rose Hall Town Municipal Market was on Thursday evening robbed at gun point as she made her way into her yard after attending a wake house in the community.

Reports are that Latchme Veersammy, also called “Anita”, 46, and her niece Padma Satdeo, 21, were returning to their Lot 120 Mera Street, Reef Section Rose Hall, Corentyne, home just after 21:00h when three men – all masked and one carrying a gun, approached them.

According to Satdeo, after her aunt got out of the car to open the gate, three men approached. She said after she drove the car into the yard and her aunt was about to close the gate, the men appeared – one armed with a piece of wood while the others carried guns.

Satdeo added that the men were dressed in camouflaged outfits and appeared to be military. “One of them point a gun to my aunt head and tell she to take off all the jewellery from she hand.”

The duo was also robbed of a Samsung S6 Galaxy cellphone valued $179,000, $8000 in cash, two gold finger rings, another ring valued $80,000, one silver ring value $4000, one Brazilian chain valued $1500, and one five-penny weight wedding band which was decorated with a white stone in the pattern of a heart. In total, the women were robbed of items valued $272,500.

The men then made their escape before an alarm was raised.

The matter has been reported to the Rose Hall Police Outpost and an investigation has been launched.

Up to press time, no arrest had been made.
