Two in custody following robbery of elderly woman
The bandits are merciless in their pursuit to take from persons what is not theirs and would pick on anybody. So much so that two thieves from the Central Corentyne area on Monday, last, robbed an 81-year-old woman and another female.
According to reports, around 19:30 hrs on the said day, octogenarian Malwattie Ramcharran and 57-year-old Jas Tyrel called “Girlie” were relaxing in hammocks at their Lot 301 Ankerville, Corentyne, Berbice residence, when two bandits scaled the fence and accosted them.
The intruders assaulted the two women before robbing them of their finger- and ear rings before escaping. The police were summoned and responded promptly.
Acting on information two men fitting the description of the two bandits were arrested in the Ankerville area. They are in custody and assisting with investigations.
