The police are investigating a case of robbery under arms following a chilling early-morning home invasion on Tuesday that left a 24-year-old chef nursing a gunshot wound.
The victim, Carlos Conyern, of Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt, was reportedly attacked around 3:30 AM while sleeping in the upper flat of his home. He was confronted by two masked men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, who broke into the residence through a southern window.
According to police reports, the intruders woke Conyern and demanded cash. In a panic, he shouted “thief,” prompting the armed assailant to fire a single shot, which struck him in the lower abdomen.
The suspects then seized two Samsung mobile phones valued at G$85,000 and G$35,000 before escaping through the same window they entered, fleeing in an unknown direction.
Conyern was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he received medical treatment. Police have reported that his condition is currently stable.
Investigators recovered a .32 calibre spent shell from the scene. The Guyana Police Force has confirmed that investigations are ongoing as they work to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
