Firing shots, two bandits waylaid the manager of Yokohama Trading at Middle and Carmichael streets at about 7.10 PM yesterday and robbed him of $1.4M.
Deepak Balradj was not wounded by the gunfire and made a futile attempt to flee the bandits during which he crashed into a car which was nearby.
The hair-raising attack in downtown Georgetown is part of a spate in recent weeks that have seen around a dozen vehicles hijacked and brazen robberies. The bandits have operated with impunity and appear not to be concerned about the police.
