0Police in Regional Division 4 ‘B’ are investigating a robbery under arms that occurred on Wednesday at Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.
The incident which occurred at about 19:00h involved a 53-year-old housewife and a 24-year-old woman from the same address.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the victims had left their home and were returning when they approached the door and were confronted by two masked men, both reportedly armed with what appeared to be handguns.
The suspects took a cellular phone from the 24-year-old woman. The 53-year-old woman was reportedly struck on her forehead with one of the weapons and relieved of a purse containing a cellular phone and $20,000.
Further enquiries revealed that the suspects then entered the lower flat of the property, where they confronted the 53-year-old woman’s young daughter and younger siblings. They allegedly took a tablet computer and a cellular phone from them.
The suspects reportedly fled the scene after joining two riders on separate black XR motorcycles, escaping in a northern direction.
Police said investigations are ongoing.
