Police are on the hunt for five men who attacked a 73-year-old pensioner and his disabled wife in the wee hours of Friday at their ‘A’ Craig, East Bank Demerara home.

A police report revealed that the victims were asleep in the wooden and concrete two-storey house in the upper flat when they were confronted by the five bandits, two of whom were armed with guns.
