Berbice money-changer missing
…after leaving home on business
A 56-year-old Berbice money-changer appears to be missing and his family fears the worst.
Mohammed Fizal Mamood Baksh, called ‘Sugar Cake’ of Crabwood Creek, was last seen by relatives at around 08.05 hrs on Monday last, when he reportedly received a call indicating that some elderly people wanted to change some foreign currency.He had reportedly indicated that he would be back in two hours.
But his daughter said that he has not been seen since and repeated calls to his mobile phone have gone unanswered.
Adding to their fears is the fact that a young man who had reportedly told the money-changer about the ‘clients’ also appears to be missing.
Kaieteur News understands that the 20-year-old, known as ‘Kevin,’ had been asked to give police a statement about his transaction with Mohamed, but failed to turn up.
Mohamed reportedly does most of his business near the Skeldon Market, and was reportedly seen entering a car there.
Persons with information on the whereabouts of Mohamed Baksh can contact relatives on telephone number 604-2681.
