Vernon Pedro, the victim’s father told Kaieteur News that his son was near the bridge at the head of the Diamond Housing Scheme access road when six juveniles attacked him. The youths dragged his son into an empty barber shop and relieved him of $6,000. They then fled.
Mr. Pedro commended the ranks from the Grove Police Station who responded quickly to the report. He said that six youths were subsequently arrested.

The father said that several persons have been robbed in the same area and he appealed to the police mount regular patrols there.
