TWO armed bandits robbed a jeweller of Independence Boulevard, Georgetown in the wee hours of Wednesday morning of his $500,000 gold chain while he was attending a relative’s wedding in his neighbourhood.

Reports indicate that Dandkumar Jeeboo, 34, was at a family’s house celebrating a wedding, not far from his home, when he was attacked at around 01:00hrs by two armed men.

One of the men reportedly pointed a handgun at him and relieved him of his gold chain. The two bandits then attempted to remove his gold band but were unsuccessful as Jeeboo reportedly resisted.

After their failed attempt, the bandits reportedly escaped in the northern direction of Independence Boulevard. No shot was fired and the matter was reported to the police as investigations continue.
