Three men are in custody as police continue their investigations into the robbery of a 59-year-old man and his family by gun-toting bandits, who also fired shots, at Vive-la-Force, West Bank Demerara on Friday night.
The four bandits, who were all armed with handguns, struck around 7.30 pm and one of them robbed Cecil Ragnauth, his wife and daughter of a quantity of jewellery valued at $100,000 and $12,000. The three other men had, in the meantime, gone to the home of Pastor Oudhia Persaud Sookdeo and attempted to break into the house but were unsuccessful.
