In a brazen late-night robbery, three armed men targeted a Chinese supermarket in Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, on October 10, 2025. The incident, which occurred around 9:44 PM, left the owner, 38-year-old Zhuangshui Xu, shaken and robbed of an undisclosed sum of cash and GYD$50,000 worth of Digicel and One Guyana phone cards. According to the Guyana Police Force, the suspects, armed with a gun, a knife, and a cutlass, confronted Xu and demanded the money. One of the perpetrators entered the cashier area, emptied the cash register, and stuffed the day’s earnings along with the phone cards into a black plastic bag before fleeing on foot. Xu, who was behind the counter assisting customers at the time, described the suspects as wearing hoodies, jerseys, and face coverings. Police have questioned several individuals as part of their ongoing investigation into the crime.
