Fishermen plying their trade close to the Guyana Venezuela borders pounced upon by a group of armed Spanish-speaking men, in an area referred to as Crabdog, Waini River, Region One.
The gunmen demanded that the crew hand over their boat and valuables, forcing the men to plunge into the murky waters of the Waini River.
Information reaching this publication indicated that the incident occurred at about 15:00h on Thursday.
The boat was captained by 40-year old Julian Marks, of Dartmouth Village, Essequibo Coast and had seven crew men.
Police investigations revealed that as the men were about to throw their nets they were attacked by Spanish-speaking men, who arrived in a wooden balahoo powered by a 75hp outboard engine.
