Hard times continue as now the afc/apnu supporters who didn't get their 50% raise turn to robbing the church to get their piece of the pie just like the fat cats in government.

Bandits nabbed after robbing pastor, churchgoers in two separate attacks –cops recover .357 Magnum, .32 pistol

 

BANDITS seem to have no qualms about robbing churchgoers, as last Sunday, a traditional day of worship, the Pastor of the Universal Church at Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara (WCD) and two Meadow Brook women were robbed in two separate attacks.According to the police, at 20:00hrs Sunday night, Pastor Dillip Bikhari of the Universal Church at Meten-Meer-Zorg, WCD, was in the process of closing the church when he, along with Brazilian Andrea Santos and two other church members, were attacked and held up by three men armed with handguns.
The men took away about G$400,000, three cell-phones, US$1,000 in cash, and a laptop computer and escaped. The police responded to the report and were able to arrest one of the suspects in the Meten-Meer-Zorg area in whose possession was found an unlicensed .357 Magnum revolver, one of the stolen cell-phones, and the stolen laptop computer. He is in police custody, assisting with the investigations.
Police also apprehended another suspect, who was taking food for the one in custody. He was positively identified by the pastor as one of the bandits who had attacked him.
Meanwhile, on the same day, a man armed with a handgun confronted two women at Waini Street, Meadow Brook, who were on their way to church, in an attempt to rob them.
The women, however, not only put up a fight, but also raised an alarm which caused residents in the area to come out, give chase and apprehend the suspect.
He was handed over to the police, along with the unlicensed .32 pistol with one round that was found in his possession. Police say that charges will be laid shortly.
