TWO bandits robbed a Berbice businessman and his wife of cash and jewels on Wednesday night after stealing two telephones from their house.
Police said Harrynarine Persaud and his spouse had just returned to their house, at Grant 1804 Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, when they were attacked about 21:30 h.

cutlass
He had driven
his vehicle into the yard and she was opening a door when one bandit chopped her
with a cutlass and took the jewellery she was wearing, Police
said.
The other
robber held her husband at gunpoint and relieved him of $100,000 before
both escaped.
The couple
later discovered that a door to the building had been forced open and the place
ransacked.
The telephones were missing but no suspects had been arrested up to press time, Police said.
