Armed bandits continue their reign of terror in the Ancient County of Berbice, with the latest attack committed on a vendor and her contractor husband at their Kilmarnack, Corentyne home early last Saturday morning.
This newspaper was told that Shoba Jagdharry was held at gunpoint and robbed of $80,000 and $1.5M in jewellery by three masked men who invaded her home between 02:00 and 02:15 hours on Saturday.
This newspaper was reliably informed that Jagdharry, 46, lives with her husband Azad Sakawat, a contractor and her son Nazim Sakawatt in a two storey wooden building.
Early Saturday morning, she was in the lower flat in her kitchen making roti when the bandits entered through an eastern door which was left opened.
The men, two of whom were armed with cutlasses, while the other carried a gun, ordered her to remain silent which she did, and demanded cash and jewellery.
At that stage, Jagdharrry’s husband came downstairs through an internal stairway and was promptly confronted by the bandits who placed him to lie on the ground.
Two of the men than took Jagdharry upstairs into her bedroom where they removed the jewellery from a black handbag.
They then took her back downstairs where they took the cash from a cupboard in the kitchen.
The woman and her husband were taken to the back of the yard where they were placed to lie in a storeroom by the bandits who subsequently made good their escape.
An alarm was later raised and the police were summoned but so far there is no report of any arrest made.
