A Chinese national was on Thursday evening terrorised by three masked men who invaded her nephew’s store at Number 2 Village, East Canje, Berbice. The incident occurred at about 20:35h.
The injured woman was identified as Lan Hong Zhou, 50. She reportedly suffered laceration to the face after she was struck with a piece of wood. Based on reports, the three bandits stormed the China Town Store armed with a handgun, a cutlass and a piece of wood.
The injured woman, her nephew Zhou Chunmin, 25, and four customers were in the store when the bandits entered.
Chunmin was in the cashier booth and was held at gunpoint by one of the men who demanded cash. Out of fear the businessman handed over an undisclosed sum of cash, from the day’s sale, along with other valuables.
Additionally, the other two bandits grabbed a quantity of phone cards and then escaped. They were seen running along Bristol Street, Number 2 Village, East Canje.
Hong Zhou was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where she was treated and sent away.
The Police were summoned and have since launched an investigation. No arrests were made, but several persons have been questioned over the robbery.
