Three Kaieteur News employees were held up at gunpoint this morning and robbed at their Saffon Street office and the bandits also escaped with the contents of a safe.
The police today named the victims as Noel Junior, a 63-year-old security guard; Wayne Little, a 20-year-old Graphics Designer; and Joshua Junior, a 35-year-old security guard. They were robbed of phones and cash.
The police said that the three men were told to lie on the floor. One of the gunmen remained with the employees while the other two went straight to a safe in the Accounts Department in the upper flat of the building.
“The door was secured with a Yale padlock which was wrenched off by the suspects. The lock on one of the desk drawers inside the Accounts Department was also broken off. Under the said desk (there was) a small safe with an undisclosed amount of cash which the suspects took. The suspects spent about five … minutes in the building and exited through the front door and escaped in the said motor car in a southern direction.
“C.C.T.V cameras seen attached to the building were viewed by detectives but due to the face masks that the suspects had on it was difficult to identify them”, the police said.
