He said two men approached Christopher Harricharan, 43, a sales distributor attached to Suri Trading and relieved him of the cash and a gold ring valued $130,000.
They then escaped.
The matter was reported to the police who went to a house at Charity Housing Scheme, Essequibo and arrested the suspects.
Both men are in police custody assisting with the investigation.
