Armed bandits carried out a brazen attack on businessman Anthony Cummings, 48, at his home at Lot 40-41 Ben Profitt Drive, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, early yesterday morning.
According to Cummings, who is now a patient in Ward A1 at the Georgetown Public Hospital, he had just closed his business, which he operates downstairs of his home. Cummings said that the bandits struck at about 04:00hrs, just about 10 minutes after he had closed his business premises.
He further told Kaieteur News that he was walking towards his home when he was confronted by gun-toting bandits, who demanded cash. Cummings said that the bandits were sporting white Halloween masks.
The businessman said that everything just happened like a nightmare, and he still refuses to believe that it had happened to him. He said that he put up some resistance, causing one of the bandits to shoot him in the back.
He said that after the bandits had shot him, they relieved him of $30,000 cash. They then made good their escape, heading in a northern direction.
Cummings was rushed to the hospital by a close friend, and doctors at the institution quickly stabilized his condition.
However, the wounded man is of the opinion that the robbery may have been a “set up” by persons he knows.
He added that, after he was shot, persons were seen “peeping through their windows” but they did not render any assistance.
Cummings said that he considers himself lucky, since in most of these instances people do not come out alive.
