Kaieteur News: "Masked gunmen, using boats, escaped with millions in machinist equipment and computers during a robbery at the Engineering Construction Cooperative (ECI) at Friendship, East Bank Demerara shortly after midnight yesterday.
The robbers assaulted and tied up two on-site guards and remained at the scene for some three hours, disabling a GEB alarm system and severing telephone lines before breaking into various offices, containers and storerooms.
They reportedly then fled via the Demerara River, abandoning some of the excess booty by the company’s wharf.
A senior official estimated that the bandits carted off more than $10M in articles, including an estimated $5.5 M in machine tools. About $500,000 in petty cash was also stolen.
The robbers also made off with several computers, including the company’s server with confidential information about the firm’s operations."
