Zaheer Khan, a dredge owner with mining operations at Sulfa Rose in the Interior, and also from Vilvoorden, on the Essequibo Coast, was ambushed by two men and robbed of ten ounces of raw gold worth $2M. The incident occurred on Thursday.
Reports are that Khan was venturing out of an area called “Sulfa Rose” where mining operations are dominant when two men, one armed with a shotgun approached him and demanded that he stop.
In fear, Khan explained that he complied with the men and handed over his raw gold. The man with the shotgun then attempted to shoot him but the gun snapped.
Khan said after the bandit’s shotgun snapped he put up a fight with the man carrying the weapon and was able to relieve him of the weapon.
The men then made good their escape in some bushes. Khan lodged the weapons at 70KM, a police outpost, located in the interior.
Robberies are extremely common in the interior.
