Police investigate an armed robbery in Georgetown in which a security officer is allegedly held at gunpoint and robbed of his firearm and ammunition. The incident is reported to occur at about 20:30h on Friday, September 25, 2026, at a bar on North Road.
Multiple reports say the 40-year-old security officer is on duty outside the bar when the confrontation happens. INews Guyana reports that the officer is approached by a male known to him, while the Guyana Chronicle describes the robbery as being carried out at gunpoint and resulting in the theft of both the firearm and ammunition. Police are described as conducting preliminary enquiries into the circumstances of the attack, including the identity of the suspect and how the theft took place.
While both outlets agree on the location, timing, and that the officer’s firearm and ammunition are taken, they differ slightly in emphasis, with one focusing on the suspect being known to the officer and the other stressing the police account of the robbery as an armed hold-up while the officer is on duty.
