GDF rank robbed by knife-wielding bicycle bandits
A 20-year-old resident of Norton Street, Lodge is in police custody, shortly after he and two others allegedly robbed a member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) of his cell phone on High and Durban Streets on Thursday, January 18, 2018.
According to a police report, an investigation revealed that about 02:00hrs, the GDF rank was in the company of another rank walking along the road, when the suspects, armed with knives, pounced and relieved him of his $22,000 cell phone.
Reports indicate that the GDF ranks fled from the perpetrators when they managed to stop a passing police patrol.
According to the police, one of the suspects, who was positively identified was arrested a short distance from where the robbery occurred and is assisting with the investigations.
