Blind Society members say security priority after invasion by bandits

The doors of the Blind Society are being kept closed by its members, who fear another attack

Following a spate of attacks on members of the Guyana Society for the Blind, the association is continuing to call for the permanent placement of armed guards at its head office.

Members believe they have been targeted because of the lack of security personnel at the High Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown head office.

On Tuesday night, bandits stormed the building and attacked several residents before carting off a laptop.

Residents yesterday told Stabroek News that they are still terrified as a result of the attack, which was carried out around 10 pm by four men, one of whom was armed with a gun.
