A 23-year-old of North Road, Lacytown, and a 24-year-old man of Parfaite Harmonie West Bank Demerara, were on Tuesday arrested after they robbed a man of his cell phone at Brickdam, Georgetown.

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) reported that at around 23:00 hrs, Quintin Crandon, 19, a minibus conductor, was on Cornhill and Brickdam Access Road in the vicinity of the #31 minibus park when he was attacked by the two suspects.

The man, who was working at the time, was dealt several cuffs about his body by the suspects. As a result he fell to the ground and one of the suspects took away his cellular phone, valued at $10,000, which was in his pants pocket before making good their escape.

A police patrol which was passing at the time gave chase behind the suspects and apprehended them.

The men were searched and Crandon’s cellular phone was recovered.
