Parika clothing store robbed again; businessman assaulted by armed bandits

Parika businessman, Robal Nebar, who owns and operates Styles Guyana at the Parika Shopping Plaza, was on Sunday robbed by armed bandits of approximately $10 million in gold jewellery and cash.

Mr. Nebar was about to pack up to close his business at around 14:00 hrs when masked gunmen pounced upon him, placed a gun to his head, grabbed a gold chain he was wearing at the time, and proceeded to empty the glass case of all the gold jewellery he had on display.

The two bandits fired shots as they made their escape on a motorcycle.

This is the third time the businessman has been robbed. Earlier in February this year, the same business was robbed of millions in cash and jewellery.

Parika Police have been aware of the robberies, but to date, there has been no success in bringing the perpetrators to justice. One policeman was informed of the incident immediately after, and his response was that “the business always gets robbed.”

The incident has left the businessman’s family traumatised, and they are appealing for the immediate attention of law enforcement authorities to find the persons responsible for this latest robbery and the previous ones.
