Two armed bandits yesterday morning battered and robbed a businesswoman of Chester, West Coast Berbice and her son before turning their guns on a group of residents who chased after them.
Aleema Alli, 53, and her son Asif, 28, were tied up and robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash and four cellular phones. A family friend who was in her shop was also tied up and stripped of his cash.
The bandits made good their escape in the backlands with residents in hot pursuit. But the bandits fired shots at them
