Moments ago, several patrons were robbed at gunpoint by two masked men armed with shotguns while dining at a Chinese restaurant on the Corentyne.
Eyewitnesses told The News Desk that the gunmen fired two shots into the air, ordering customers to lie facedown on the floor before forcibly taking their gold jewelry and cash.
According to reports, a man had entered the restaurant before the robbery and was seen dining while texting, raising suspicions among some patrons.
However, they did not think much of it at the time. Moments later, he left abruptly without finishing his meal, and shortly after, the two armed men arrived and carried out the daring robbery.
Authorities have launched an investigation. More details to follow.
