Mahaicony businesswoman beaten, robbed

A Mahaicony businesswoman sustained injuries after three armed bandits pounced on her just around midday on Friday and brutalised her before stealing millions of dollars in cash and jewellery.

Dhanmattie Mahadeo also known as ‘Sherry’, 32, the co-owner of Sherry’s Agri Centre, said she was in her office, located at the bottom flat of her home, when a heavily tinted vehicle stopped in front of her premises. Two men exited the vehicle with face masks while the driver remained in the vehicle.

According to Mahadeo, her staffer was in the washroom at the time and so she decided to assist the men, who initially asked whether she had chicken feed for sale. After she informed them that she did not sell feed, they then requested two packs of fertilizer.
