The headteacher of the Kildonan Primary School is now fearful after bandits invaded her home at Lancaster Village, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six.
Shereen Ali was asleep at around 04:45hrs on Thursday when she was awoken by a noise coming from the lower flat of the two-storey house.
Before she could get up, she was confronted by two masked men – one armed with a gun and the other with a cutlass.
One of the bandits placed the gun at her neck and demanded money and jewellery.
The woman told this publication that she told the bandits that she did not have any money or jewellery.
However, the men ransacked her home in search of valuables. They eventually found a bag containing a quantity of gold jewellery valued $2.3 million.
