Kaieteur News – Police have arrested three suspects who reportedly assaulted and robbed a Corriverton family on Friday.

The three men armed with cutlasses and a gun invaded the home of a 60-year-old Chandra Persaud located at Lot 54 Kingston, Corriverton, Berbice and robbed them of $1.5million, jewellery and cell phones.

Persaud is a driver and salesman, police said.

After the ordeal, the Persaud family were taken to the Skeldon Public Hospital where they were treated and sent away.

Quick work by police led to ranks to arrest the three suspects at a house in, Limlair Village, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six.

The stolen money, jewellery, and cell phones were all retrieved by police at the said location.

Investigations are ongoing.
