Crime Chief Seelall has said that though police are investigating several leads in the Bombay Terrace, Prashad Nagar robbery they are yet to make an arrest.
Businesswoman Rosemary Evans, known as Pinky, told Stabroek News that she was still in great distress and did not want to comment.
“How can something like this get better?” Evans asked while speaking with this newspaper via telephone yesterday.
Police in a press statement issued hours after the incident said they are investigating the armed robbery which occurred at Bombay Terrace, Prashad Nagar during which Evans was attacked and robbed by two men, one of whom was armed with a gun.
Investigations, they said, revealed that Evans, a miner, was about to enter her premises when she was confronted by the armed man who was on a motorcycle ridden by an accomplice. The armed man discharged a round into the air and took away a bag which the woman dropped while seeking cover.
The two perpetrators escaped with the bag which reportedly contained $3 million cash and a quantity of raw gold, a total of some $5 million.
