A 42-year-old man was last evening beaten and robbed by two bandits at Goed Fortuin Housing Scheme, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
At around 19:45h, the victim was driving a motorcar in the area when he noticed two men on a bicycle.
One of the men shouted at him, “who is you coming through this area?”
The driver claimed that he continued driving as he had to pick up a family member.
However, the suspects started to follow him on their bicycle.
One of the perpetrators then hit the victim’s vehicle with his hand, causing the driver to stop the car.
As he exited the vehicle, one of the suspects threw the bicycle at him.
They then approached the driver where they kicked and cuffed him about the body.
He was then relieved of a cellphone valued $45,000, one transition lens glasses valued $45,000, and $10,000 in cash.
The bandits then made good their escape in an unknown direction.
Investigations are ongoing.
