Two persons who are well known to the authorities are in custody following the daring daylight robbery that occurred on Thursday last in the New Amsterdam Market.
Acting on information, the police arrested a 19 year old businessman and a driver both of Canje, Berbice.
According to reports, around 08:30 hrs on Tuesday last, a lone gunman dressed in a red shirt and black pants robbed the popular Hack’s Variety Stall, owned by Rashid Hack and escaped with a bag of cash.
Hack sells a variety of items at the establishment, and also is a licenced Cambio dealer.
The bandit had turned up at the business premises under the pretext of conducting business. He suddenly whipped out a gun and held employee Alvin Mature at gunpoint and demanded cash.
The thief who was unmasked and using expletives, had pressed the gun to the man’s mouth, threatening to shoot if he didn’t hand over money. He subsequently escaped with the money. While fleeing, the bandit held on to one of Hack’s employee who was on his way into work and held him hostage as he fired shots into the air.
The man then ran out of the market and joined an accomplice on a motorcycle. The men then rode up the one-way before turning into Lad Lane and disappearing in the vicinity of Angoy’s Avenue.
The businessman stated that he had lost over $2M.
The police were contacted and after visiting the scene they began diligent investigation.
Several persons in the area were contacted and questioned, and acting on information received, the police arrested two persons. Christopher Osman, 19, a businessman of lot 114 Cumberland, East Canje, Berbice and Irishad Alli, 30, a car driver of No 2 Village East Canje, Berbice are assisting with investigation.
