A businesswoman was on Tuesday robbed of over $800,000 in cash and other valuables after bandits broke into her car.

Wanita Ashby, 39, of Alexander Village, Georgetown, said she visited a money transfer location on Light Street before heading to Front Road, West Ruimveldt, where she stopped at a friend to make a call.

She said after completing the call, which lasted just about five minutes, she heard her car alarm going off. The time was 3.38 pm.
