Police in Regional Division 4 ‘C’ are investigating an alleged Robbery Under Arms which occurred on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at about 22:15hrs at Britton Street, Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, committed against an 18-year-old Police Constable of the said area.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim was socialising with a few friends when he was approached by an unidentified masked male armed with a handgun.
The armed male reportedly snatched two gold chains from around the victim’s neck, weighing a combined 68 pennyweights and valued at approximately GY$600,000.
Following the robbery, the suspect fled towards the eastern side of the street, during which several loud explosions, suspected to be gunshots, were heard, causing the victim and his friends to disperse.
He subsequently entered a waiting silver motor car, which proceeded north along the roadway, and made good his escape.
CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being reviewed as part of the investigation.
No arrests have been made. Investigations are ongoing.
