Armed bandits terrorise rob Corentyne family

Three armed bandits terrorised a family at Number 79 Village, Corriverton for about an hour before grabbing cash and gold jewellery around 2.30 am yesterday, after faking a fire in the house so the owner could open his sealed bedroom.

Vernon Vishnu told Stabroek News that he was alerted to the smell of smoke coming from his living room and immediately opened his bedroom door to check, only to be confronted by the armed bandits.
