A violent armed robbery has left three Chinese nationals targeted in their own residential property in Guyana, with four suspects currently evading law enforcement capture, the Guyana Police Force confirmed in an official update published Saturday, April 11, 2026.
The attack unfolded around 3:53 p.m. local time on Friday, as the three victims had just arrived at their property in Eccles, a community located along Guyana’s East Bank Demerara. As the group stepped out of their vehicle, four male suspects ambushed them. According to initial police accounts, one of the four attackers was openly carrying a loaded handgun during the incident.
After overpowering the victims, the suspects forced the three Chinese nationals back inside their home, where they carried out a systematic search of both the upper and lower floors of the residence. During the ransacking, the robbers stole a combined haul of multiple currencies and personal identification documents. The stolen assets include 500,000 Guyanese dollars, 900 U.S. dollars, 1,000 Mexican pesos, and 200 Hong Kong dollars, alongside a Chinese national identity card and other critical personal paperwork.
Law enforcement investigators have already secured key evidence to advance the case, with closed-circuit television footage recorded by cameras installed on the victims’ property successfully collected for review. This footage is now a core component of the active manhunt and ongoing investigation into the robbery.
As of Saturday afternoon, no suspects had been taken into custody, and police continue their efforts to locate and apprehend the four perpetrators responsible for the attack.
