Two men armed with guns invaded the Buckanair Bar located along the Smithfield Public Road just after midnight on Friday and robbed the owner, who was tied up and assaulted during the incident, of over $500,000 in cash and a large amount of gold jewellery.
Owner and businesswoman, Barbara Singh, 63, of Lot 4 Smithfield, New Amsterdam, said that she was in bed when she heard a noise and upon getting up she noticed two men entering her house – one armed with a long gun and another a small gun.
One of the men was reportedly dressed in camouflage clothing with a tope and a material tied around his face, while the second bandit wore a black shirt.
