Silva told this newspaper.Then Dr. Da Silva began talking to the bandits with a view to having them abandon their activity.“They were listening but then one of them said,Wholesale NBA Jerseys, ‘you talking too much’,” Mrs. Da Silva said.She was then ordered to bring her daughter from her bedroom and was accompanied by one of the bandits to do so.Mrs. Da Silva said that she was so terrified that she even took back some money she had given her daughter earlier and gave it to the bandit, before returning to her bedroom where the other bandit was holding her husband at gunpoint.The men then proceeded to ransack the place and unearthed a substantial amount of jewellery.The two gunmen even took the victims passports, which contain valid US visas.As they were about to leave, they ordered their victims not to make any noise.“They said we could scream when they left. But we prayed and thanked God for sparing our lives. We even prayed for them to change their (wicked) ways,” Mrs Da Silva told this newspaper.Eventually the police were informed and, according to Mrs. Da Silva, they operated in a very professional manner in responding to the report.“I want to commend the police for their approach to our report, especially Detective Constable Tirat. His whole approach and handling of the situation was professional. I felt so good by their response,” Mrs. Da Silva said.The police for their part believe that the two bandits fit the description given by at least two other victims of armed robberies on the East Coast of Demerara. |
