Gunmen yesterday stormed the Guyana Power and Light Inc (GPL) customer service centre at Parika, East Bank Essequibo and carted off approximately $800,000 in cash after holding up the staff and a customer.
Commander of Police ‘D’ Division Leslie James last night told Stabroek News that the police are in pursuit of the three men who carried out the robbery.
James said that the men launched their attack at around 12.30pm yesterday. He said the men first went to the security guard and held him up, before holding up a customer and the staff, which comprised the manager, a clerk and a cashier. He added that after carrying out the robbery, the men jumped into a car that was parked outside of the office and fled.
