A SECURITY guard was on Friday robbed of all his valuables by four men on cycles, including one armed with handgun, as he was walking on a street in Nigg Settlement, Corentyne, Berbice.

Reports indicate that the victim was robbed of one haversack, cell phone and cash when the suspects, who were on bicycles approached him from the opposite direction.

He was held at gunpoint and relieved of the articles. The bandits on cycles then made good their escape.

Meanwhile, in Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD), a husband and wife operating an off-license liquor restaurant and grocery were having a drink with a friend at their business place when three gunmen pounced on them.

Reports indicate that the three armed bandits had initially approached the victims requesting a cigarette when they were told no one had any. The suspects then walked away and later turned back, one pulling a gun from the waist.

The robbers then braced the victims onto the side of the shop and relieved them of over $400,000 in valuables, including cash and cell phones.

Police are investigating these incidents.
