Fortunately, the day Sales was not in the bags ... arrangement was in place how we move our cash . A bag containing important business documents and the store keys were stolen. Our security guard was hold up and he lost his firearm . No one was hurt but the staff is traumatized .
One of our staff lost her passport which contain her US and Canadian visa . She brought it to transact some business the same day
These men are well train in their movements as we review the cameras.
The robbery was so quick that Arm securities with AK47 outside of Mohammed Cambio .. a few stores away didnβt knew until it was over.
We have never experience robbery of this magnitude in all our years doing business in Guyana , itβs only a matter of time for people to loss their lives
We are contemplating sellling and closing all businesses.
Too sad you cannot invest and expand in your own country .
At the end of the day ... itβs a political ploy to drive Indo out of Guyana . There are lots of hard working successful blacks who are fed up and disappointed with the current government ... they are looking at options of migrating .
