Police are searching for two armed bandits who pounced on Andre Sukhwa, a supervisor attached to Bakewell at Palmyra Village, Corentyne, Berbice, which also left him with a missing finger.
According to reports, bandits on Saturday evening attacked and robbed Sukhwa, who had just minutes before returned to the company’s bond. The incident took place sometime around 18:30h.
According to Sukhwa, he was preparing to enter his car when two armed bandits attacked him. He explained he was at the door when the men approached and chopped him several places about his body. He was also relieved of some $80,000.
“When I turn around I see these two men right up to me, one had a gun and one had a cutlass. The one start to fire chops and the next one say he gon shoot.”
Sukhwa, recounting the ordeal, said several chops were fired in his direction, the first one connecting to his right hand.
“And he continuing firing and I put up my hand to bar the chops because is my head he start aiming for and he catch me on this hand.”
The supervisor received two chops to his left hand, one leaving a finger hanging by the skin and the other to the back of his wrist.
Sukhwa explained that while he was defending himself against the cutlass-wielding bandit, the other one went into the car and searched.
“He searched till he find the wallet with $80,000 which was personal money and they take it.”
Sukhwa said the bandits entered from the gate, which was opened at the time and walked past the guard. He later managed to alert a fellow employee, who took him to the New Amsterdam Hospital.
Meanwhile the security guard who was on duty at the time told Guyana Times he had opened the gate for Sukhwa to drive out. According to him the men approached the gate and made their way straight to the supervisor.
“I couldn’t do anything when they start chopping… I start hollering but no neighbours aint come out.”
The Bakewell Palmyra bond has no telephones and the guard has no cellular phone.
The company built and moved to that location about a month ago after being at a rented location in the same community for several years.
