Police are on the hunt for two bandits believed to have been badly injured during a robbery at the residence of an Alliance, Canal Number Two Polder, West Bank Demerara businessman.
They are also questioning a driver who allegedly transported the robbers, while impounding his blue NZE Toyota, which had a bloodstained garment and traces of blood inside.
Police sources said that the robbers escaped with some $700,000, but not before being beaten with rolling pins and other household implements.
Police said that the 31-year-old mechanic, who is also a businessman, was sleeping in a hammock under a shed in his yard when two men armed with handguns confronted him and demanded valuables.
They then took him inside his house and, in the presence of a sibling, relieved him of a large sum of cash.
During the ordeal, the suspects gun-butted the siblings. But the brothers fought back and managed to disarm one of the intruders after the magazine fell out of his gun.
The brothers then armed themselves with implements and wounded the robbers, who fled in the waiting vehicle.
Police said that the victims pursued the car but were forced to retreat after they were reportedly fired upon.
Police, after a brief chase, intercepted the car at Leonora, West Coast Demerara.
A suspected bloodstained jersey as well as traces of blood was found inside. Two live 9mm rounds were found at the scene and an unlicensed 9MM pistol, allegedly taken from one of the two armed suspects during a struggle, have been handed over to the police.
