A man who was going to deposit money from his store’s sales into the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry location at Vreed-en-Hoop was last evening robbed by gun-toting bandits who escaped.
The man, who operates a store at the Abbisham Mall at Vreed-en-Hoop, was on the bridge that led to the bank when he was accosted by the men, both of whom were armed with handguns. The incident occurred at just about 7 pm.
The bandits grabbed the money from him, hitting him on the mouth, in the process. The sum of money taken was not known. After grabbing the money, the men fled and it is believed that they escaped in a car.
Police are investigating the matter.
When will they learn not to carry around money like that.
What other way should the money be taken to the bank ? Is the bank not suppose to be safe with security personel both inside and outside ?
nice try for security in & out of the bank. u r in d bank & dem can come FREEZE u & the gards!. i think if he knew he is going to the bank & always does, he should go with a fire arm .. u r a business man, handling all tha $ & dont have a fire arm???

He probably applied for a firearm back in the Jurassic period, but don’t lose heart, the 22nd century is just around the corner.
I myself had applied for one sometime back in 1994 -1995, and all I got was a letter acknowledging receipt of my application. I am confident that I am still being processed though.
