Suspected stolen car crashes after missing bridge at Abary
The apprehended suspect
The mangled Mercedes Benz
A man who on Thursday afternoon, reportedly without permission removed a Mercedes Benz car, PMM 8606, from the parking lot of a private company on the East Coast Demerara, and later crashed at Abary, was up to press time in police custody assisting with investigations.
According to information received, the car was removed from the parking lot of H. Nauth and Sons, an engineering company on East Coast Demerara.
Employees, who were at the scene when this publication visited, were all reluctant to divulge information. All they were willing to say was that the company received information around 14:15 hours that the car had crashed at Little Abary, which is just about three kilometers west of the Abary Bridge.
Travelling in an easterly direction with the police in pursuit, rather than negotiating the turn , the vehicle ploughed into a narrow roadside drain before turning turtle on the other side of the drain.
The driver, who is said to have escaped serious injuries, was quickly taken into custody and removed from the scene.
A senior officer from the police division conformed that he had received report of the incident, but at the point in time he was not in a position to furnish further details, since he was at the time, at Headquarters attending to other job related matters.
Equipment from the company arrived shortly after to retrieve the badly damaged Mercedes Benz.
