Tourists film scary moment they are robbed at gunpoint

A couple on holiday in Guatemala captured the chilling moment they were robbed by machete-wielding thieves on a lonely country road up in the mountains.

Canadian, Dan Landsborough, was recording his bike ride on a head-cam with his British girlfriend Heidi Burton on the road between San Pedro La Laguna and Santiago Atitlan, when two men leapt from the bushes.

While one of the men aims a gun at the unlucky tourists, the other man uses a machete to cut a bag off the motorcycle which had the couple's money in it.

Mr Landsborough, who posted the clip as a warning to other tourists, said: "The sound is cut part way through at the request of my girlfriend who was understandably distressed."
