Two held after businessman robbed at Palmyra

Two men who successfully robbed an East Canje businessman on Saturday night apparently forgot to dispose of evidence that would link them to the crime.
The men were caught by police hours later with the victim’s identification and other incriminating documents.
Police in a statement said that about 23:00 hours on Saturday, four men, two of whom were armed with shotguns, attacked businessman Muniram Harricharran, 55, as he was in the process of closing his business place at Palmyra, East Canje.
They took away G$35,000, US$60 and Cdn$25, his National Identification card and a bag with other documents and escaped.
However, at about 02:00 hours yesterday, ranks of a mobile police patrol saw two men riding bicycles along the roadway at No. 2 Village, Canje, and stopped and searched them.
The businessman’s National Identification card and other documents in his name were found in their possession.
The men have been arrested and are in police custody assisting with the investigations
