A 25-year-old woman from Ruimzeight, West Coast Demerara (WCD) along with her mother was attacked last night and robbed at gunpoint while they were making their way home from church.
Ann McDonald and her mother were attacked and robbed at approximately 19:30 hours in Concrete Strip, WCD.
Reports that when the church service ended, McDonald and her mother boarded a minibus and left Ruimzeight Public Road.
The woman took her phone out to use her flashlight as she and her mother were walking home.
However, a man approached them, whipped a handgun and demanded that the women remain silent.
The armed bandit released the young woman about $ 60,000 in cash and her cellphone worth $ 80,000. Before he escaped, the culprit hit the mother with her gun.
The bandit then joined a waiting wagon, where he compensated for his escape.
Investigations are ongoing.
