November 19, 2016

fruit vendor was on Friday afternoon robbed of his day’s earnings by a gunman as he was vending in Queenstown, Georgetown.

Guyana Times understands that the incident occurred at about 18:00h on Oronoque Street, Queenstown, after the man had just finalised a transaction.

According to reports, the fruit vendor was collecting goods from a vehicle and after the vehicle left, the lone gunman ran up and pointed his weapon to the vendor and snatched the money that was in the vendor’s hand.
