Suspected getaway driver held after Canal No. 2 home invasion

A section of the Alliance, Canal No 2 property where the robbery occurred.

An Alliance, Canal Number 2, West Bank Demerara family was terrorised by armed bandits early yesterday morning in a brazen attack that ended when the victims fought back and the men fled with almost $1 million in cash and jewellery.

Their escape was not an entire success, however, as the suspected getaway driver was later intercepted by the police.

The attack unfolded around 2 am yesterday at Lot 77 Alliance, Canal Number 2, which is the location of three houses occupied by members of the Sumdhat family.
