Chinese businessmen allegedly robbed by four men 

Two Chinese businessmen were allegedly robbed of $1.2 million in cash and one cellphone on Thursday while travelling in a bus along Leopold Street, Georgetown.

According to a Police release, preliminary investigations revealed that the businessmen were proceeding west along Leopold Street in a motor bus when they stopped at the corner of Leopold and Breda Streets and were approached by four identifiable males.

One of the suspects reportedly opened the driver’s side door, removed two black haversacks from between the front seats, which reportedly contained $1.2 million Guyana currency and one cellular phone. The suspect also reportedly dealt both victims one cuff each to their faces.

The suspects then made good their escape in a western direction.

CCTV cameras were observed in the area and will be reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
