A pre-wedding photo shoot ended on a sour note after bandits broke into the car of the soon-to-be wed couple on Saturday afternoon and carted off hundreds of thousands of dollars in valuables.
Left counting their losses are iNews reporter Ramona Luthi and her fiancé as well as the photographer, all of whom are members of the media.

Based on information received, the trio had parked the car on Battery Road, Kingston, Georgetown about 15:45h after which they ventured into the compound of the Georgetown Marriott Hotel, a short distance away, to conduct the shoot.
A mere 30 minutes later, they returned to the vehicle, only to discover that their possessions were missing. It was then that an investigation was launched, during which they realised a section of the back left side window of the car was shattered, presumably to gain the robbers entry.

According to Luthi, the thieves managed to escape with a brand new Asus laptop computer, valued approximately $300,000 along with two camera lenses, a battery pack and several storage devices.They also carted off the handbag of the iNews reporter which at the time contained several important documents as well as a quantity of cash. The brazen robbers even took a set of clothing which was left in the car.
Meanwhile, Guyana Times understands that the trio had noticed a woman dressed in red joined by two cyclists within close proximity of the car, but failed to pay much heed. Given what had transpired, they are now of the opinion that the suspicious individuals may very well have been the perpetrators of the crime.
Shortly after the robbery was discovered, a report was made to the Police. The car was taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), where it was dusted for fingerprints and several were lifted.
As such, the media operatives are calling for the assistance of anyone with information that can lead to the recovery of their possessions and ultimately, the apprehension of the criminals.
