Police are now hunting two men who allegedly assaulted and robbed a 20-year-old shop owner in Diamond, East Bank Demerara on Monday morning, while pretending to be customers.

The victim has been identified as Fazeena Bacchus, also known as “Peaches” of Section “B”, Block “X” Diamond, East Bank Demerara.

Speaking to INews on Tuesday, the young woman recalled that the incident took place at around 10:00hrs, while she was home alone.

According to Bacchus, one of bandits called at her shop with an empty five gallon water bottle in his hand. He explained that he wanted to purchase a bottle of water.

“The first one came to buy a five gallon bottle of water…So I asked him if I could look at the bottle [he brought]…When I looked at it, the bottle had a set of dents and so on [so I couldn’t accept it] So I told him he has to throw out the water and he said alright, so I gave him a big funnel [to use],” Bacchus said.
