A Guyanese involuntary returnee who served a conviction in the United States, was arrested by police on Sunday in relation to an armed robbery committed on two Bangladeshi nationals, after police tracked a stolen cell phone to this East La Penitence, Georgetown, home.

According to police reports, about 20:45h on Saturday, the two Bangladeshis were about to enter their Barclay Street, Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara, home when two males, both armed with handguns, confronted them.

The gunmen relieved them of their belongings, which included two phones (a Samsung and IPhone) and $185,000 cash. The perpetrators then got into a waiting car, which was parked a short distance away.

During the investigations, the police found that the IPhone had a tracking device, which led investigators to the home of the suspect, where the stolen IPhone was found.

The 55-year-old ‘deportee’ was arrested and taken into custody. His white Toyota Primo car, which investigators suspected was used during the robbery, was also impounded.

The police said that the arrested man had served a lengthy prison term in the US for manslaughter and drug trafficking offences.

Meanwhile, further investigations into the armed robbery are ongoing.
