Businessman overpowers gunman, foils robbery attempt

Jun 09, 2008 News

BELVEDERE, CORENTYNE – A Berbice businessman overpowered an armed bandit and in the process stripped him of his weapon.
At just about 21:00 hours on Saturday, Nazir Khan, of 593 Fourth Street, South Belvedere, Corentyne, was reportedly confronted by two men, one of whom was said to be armed with a gun.
The man operates a business concern at Pitt Street in New Amsterdam.
At the time of the incident, he and his two sons, Imran Khan, 20, and 18-year-old Shabeer Khan, had just pulled up in front of their home with the family’s Canter.
One of the younger men had disembarked to open the gate when the bandits showed up.
One bandit pointed the gun at Nazir Khan and instructed him not to make any noise. The businessman then managed to snatch the gun away from the bandit; and realizing that they had lost control of their intended victims, the bandits made a dash for safety.
The family reported the matter to the Albion Police Station moments later. According to Police in Berbice, the businessman handed over the weapon, a .32 Taurus revolver and six rounds of ammunition.
