Three armed bandits stormed the GPL outlet at Mon Repos yesterday and forced customers to empty their pockets but they abandoned their loot after learning that the police were approaching and fled while firing shots in the air.
It was the second time in less than two weeks that bandits had attacked a business office in this Mon Repos mall and eyewitnesses said that it appears that the same men and vehicle were involved.
Eyewitnesses related to Stabroek News that a grey Toyota Premio pulled up to the building “a little after midday” and three men rushed out and stormed into the building. One eyewitness said that he saw the three men race into the GPL outlet and attack the guard and relieve him of his gun.
