Georgetown: Investigations revealed that Annie Ramsood, along with her reputed husband Malcolm Panday, three children and domestic employees, were at home when two armed men entered the building. However, Panday managed to slip away and summoned the police from a neighbouring residence.
Meanwhile the two men forced Annie Ramsood to open a safe from where they took an undisclosed sum of cash, comprising local and foreign currency, and escaped in a waiting motor car bearing registration plates PKK 3700.
The police responded promptly to the report and subsequently intercepted the motor vehicle in the compound of the Ocean Springs Hotel, Vlissengen Road, Georgetown.
Four men exited the vehicle and one of them opened fire on the police who returned fire. Three of the men were arrested and an unlicensed 9mm. pistol with 8 rounds, along with a sum of cash were recovered. The other man managed to escape.
Further investigations led to the interception of motor car PMM 9436 at Front Road, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, and the arrest of three other men and the recovery of a further sum of cash.
The six men are in police custody assisting with the investigations and the two motor vehicles used by them have been detained by the police.
