Businessman Angad Dalip is now counting over $1M in losses after six men robbed his Eccles East Bank Demerara, Industrial Site business of steel rods.
During the attack, which occurred early yesterday morning at Dalip’s Trading, one of Dalip’s two security guards claims he was held at knife point before being tied up by the robbers, who carted away the material in a canter truck.
Dalip told Stabroek News that the guards are claiming that the men gained access to the steel rods from the eastern side of the building. He explained that normally there are two guards working at nights to ensure the security of the building, while the GEB Guard Service would make spot checks.
He said both guards told him that earlier in the night they saw a canter truck driving around the area but after the truck left the northern side of the building and ventured through a street at the eastern side of the building, both guards thought it had gone.
However, Dalip said the guard situated at the eastern side of the building said when he arrived at his location, he was attacked by two men
