Georgetown- TrakkerNews was on scene shortly after police raided and ransacked a home in Walker Terrace, West La Penitence, not knowing that it was actually used as a den for criminals who stashed money and weapons during robberies. Just after noon today clerk Daniel Joseph, 31 years of Beauty and Home System, Camp Street, Georgetown, was attacked and robbed of $1.3 million which was in an envelope by two men, one of whom was armed with a firearm, as he and two other employees were about to board a vehicle outside of the business place.
The perpetrators then ran into Lamaha Street where they joined motor car HB 663 and escaped.
Police anti-crime and other patrols were quickly informed of the incident through the radio network and subsequently ranks of a TSU anti-crime patrol intercepted the vehicle at Cemetery Road, Georgetown.
The driver was arrested and further enquiries led to the arrest of two other suspects in the house at Walker Terrace, West La Penitence, where an unlicensed 9mm. pistol with 16 matching rounds and $1million were recovered by the police.
The three men are in police custody and charges are expected to be made shortly.
