A member of the Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara (EBD)’s Assemblies of God Church, was relieved of his cash and jewelry last Thursday around 22:15hrs by three men. The attack occurred in front of the church.
Gairy Duke, 35, of Lot 120 New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, said that he had just finished locking the doors of the church and was approaching his car when the three gunmen confronted him.
He claimed that one of the men held a gun to his head and demanded money and jewelry.
“They took my ring, chain, and wallet which had about $40,000 and some foreign currency.”
Duke said that after the men relieved him of his cash and jewelry they “leave and I jump in the car, with my wife and daughter and was about to drive away when the bandits them turn back and was knocking on my windscreen.”
The man said that after the bandits were continuously hitting on his wind-screen, “my wife just roll down the window and they ask me ‘where is the band’ and I told them that I don’t have a band but a watch and they say they don’t want that and left.”
The 35-year-old man explained that persons from the neighbourhood had told him that a few months ago, some young boys were at a ‘corner’ discussing his jewelry. “They were telling me that the guys were talking who will take the band, the ring and the chain.”
The incident was reported but up to press time yesterday no one was arrested.
