Sunday night attacked a family on the Corentyne shortly after they had
returned from a wedding.
Police
said the attack by six masked men, including one with a handgun, took place at
Sideline Dam, Portuguese Quarters, Corentyne, Berbice.
Five
family members, including an overseas-based couple, were under their house
eating when the men rushed into the yard and pointed a gun at them.
The
family had just returned from a wedding ceremony, police said.
The
bandits demanded cash and jewellery which the family handed over. The amount
of cash and jewellery they gave the bandits was unknown, police said.
The overseas-based female was assaulted during the attack and the bandits fled through a cemetery, police reported.
