A Chinese couple are now left in a traumatised state after armed men invaded their East Bank Demerara (EDB) home on Monday evening, terrorising them before carting off their motor car along with cash and valuables.
The couple, Rong Yan Yao, 41, a businesswoman, and Rong Jie King, 40, a businessman, both of Garden of Eden, EBD was attacked about 21:40h.
Guyana Times International understands that the victims were in the upper flat of their two-storey home when six heavily armed men invaded the premises and held them at gunpoint.
One of the bandits demanded that the couple hand over their valuables, but they refused to do so.
As such, they were both beaten in their heads before the men ransacked their home and relieved them of an undisclosed sum of cash and a large quantity of gold and silver jewellery.
The men then demanded the couple’s car keys and made good their escape in the Toyota pickup, BSS 5412. An alarm was raised, and the Police were called. The injured couple was taken to the Diamond hospital where they were treated.
When this publication visited the couple’s home, the victims were too traumatised to speak.
An investigation has been launched.
