Three suspected bandits were killed in a shootout with Police ranks at the Kingston Seawall opposite the Guyana National Service Ground in Georgetown as they were reportedly attempting to rob a customer who they had trailed from a city bank. Those killed were 46-year-old Dextroy Cordis, also known as “Dutty,” a resident of Grove, East Bank Demerara; Kwame Assanah of Buxton, East Coast Demerara; and 57-year-old Errol Adams, also known as “Dynamite”, of Dartmouth, Essequibo Coast and of Buxton, East Coast Demerara.
The Police had reported that ranks performing duties in the vicinity of Scotiabank on Robb Street, Georgetown when they observed a motorcar with two suspicious looking characters prowling the area. Those ranks followed the black Toyota IST motorcar, PTT 9034, which at the time was observed following a customer who had just exited the bank.
This car reportedly drove up to the customer’s vehicle and two men exited, one brandishing a small firearm at the customer. The Police acted swift and alerted the men to their presents who opened fire. The ranks took cover and returned fire killing three of the bandits while on escaped.
