Armed bandits on Wednesday night stole almost a million dollars in cash and valuables in an attack on an East Bank Demerara supermarket.
At around 7.30 pm, three men, all armed with guns and two of whom were masked, entered Fresh Mart Supermarket, at Covent Garden Public Road, East Bank Demerara and quickly relieved the owner, customers and staff of valuables along with the day’s sales.
The businessman, who asked not to be named, told Stabroek News that they were closing the supermarket when the attack occurred.
