TIMES INT'L

American businesswoman Audrey Ryan became another victim of the recent spate of armed robberies plaguing Guyana when a gunman snatched her handbag containing more than G$250,000 in valuables in a daring daylight attack committed at Thomas Street, Georgetown on Monday.

Guyana Times International understands that the 54-year-old businesswoman was reportedly traced from a city bank to which she had gone to conduct a transaction. She was making her way to a medical facility at about 11:15h, and was on Thomas Street, between Middle and New Market Streets — in the passageway, about to head into the facility — when the lone gunman approached and robbed her.
The bandit snatched the dark grey bag she was carrying on her shoulder, which contained a Samsung Galaxy S5 mobile phone valued at G$80,000; another Samsung Galaxy mobile phone valued at G$120,000; a Blu mobile phone valued at G$36,000; hard drive valued at G$16,000; her American passport, and her United States driver’s licence. Besides, the grey bag is valued at G$30,000.
Police have since disclosed that after the bandit had robbed the businesswoman, he fled into an awaiting motorcar allegedly driven by an accomplice. The car’s registration number has since been made known to the Police. Investigations are continuing.
