Twenty-nine-year-old Dexter Leung of Hunter Street, Georgetown, was on Monday remanded to prison in connection with a robbery committed on the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) along Woolford Avenue, Georgetown. Leung appeared before Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, where two counts of robbery under arms charges were read to him. Police stated that on August 18, 2026, Leung and others robbed Dennis Ragnauth, a security guard, of $3,815,540 in cash, along with a Samsung Galaxy cellular phone, property of CIOG. It was reported that the 63-year-old security guard was attacked and robbed by armed men who invaded the property. Police stated that the security guard was conducting checks around the compound when he was confronted by four masked males, one of whom was armed with a knife, while another was armed with a crowbar. During the incident, the security guard was restrained and relieved of his cellular phone. However, one of the bandits remained with him while the others proceeded towards the building. Further investigations revealed that they gained entry into the lower flat of the building through a window. While in the building, the men reportedly ransacked various sections and found the above-mentioned cash, after which they escaped. After the review of CCTV footage, the 29-year-old taxi driver was arrested and subsequently charged. He is expected to make his next court appearance on September 15, 2026.
