Three bandits who reportedly committed two robberies on the Corentyne were taken into custody when police unearthed a .32 snub-nose revolver in a blue AT 192 Carina motorcar, PKK 75, which was intercepted during a roadblock at Albion.
Reports are that the bandits first robbed an off-licence liquor restaurant at Number 48 Village belonging to Kampta Rambarose, 78 and escaped with $10,000. This was around 6.30 pm.
Rambarose, his wife and a grandson were in an adjoining kitchen at the back of the business place when the bandits held them at gunpoint and removed the money from a drawer in the shop.
They then made good their escape in the waiting car that was hired from Raj Taxi Service at Springlands.
The bandits then attacked and robbed Azad Taki of A. Taki Filling Station & Variety Store at Hogstye of $90,000 and a quantity of GT&T and Digicel phone cards.
