Bandit shot, mowed down by victim during failed robbery


Kaieteur News – A 21-year-old security guard was arrested on Thursday night after he was shot to his right leg by a contractor who was moments earlier attacked and robbed by three men at a restaurant at the Success Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara (ECD).

According to the police, the 29-year-old contractor who is also a gold miner, of Eccles, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was attacked and robbed around 20:27 hrs on Wednesday at the Classic Chinese Restaurant at Success Railway Embankment, ECD.

Police said the victim was relieved of his licensed 9MM pistol by three identifiable male suspects who walked into the restaurant and attacked the man and others. One of the bandits was armed with a firearm.

The police noted that the victim was imbibing with his father and friends when he observed the three suspects. The bandits rushed into the restaurant and one of the men who was armed with a handgun, pointed same towards the victim while demanding his valuables and cash.

During a scuffle for the victim’s firearm, one of the bandits was shot in his right leg. The men then ran out of the restaurant in a western direction with the victim’s firearm.

Police said the victim used his vehicle and chased after the injured bandit who had the man’s firearm in his possession at the time. The victim observed the bandit heading south along the roadway on foot and drove his vehicle into the suspect, which caused him to sustain further injuries.

The victim then retrieved his firearm with 15 rounds and reported the incident to the police.

Police said the injured suspect was arrested and he was subsequently identified as a security guard of ‘B’ Field, Sophia. The man was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was admitted as a patient under police guard.

Police detectives combed the area where the incident occurred and retrieved closed circuit television (CCTV) footage for analysis.

The victim’s firearm and ammunition were lodged as further investigations are ongoing, the police noted.

If the police can't do their jobs then get rid of them.

Don't you agree that the political party system is overwhelmingly race-based, with Indo-Guyanese forming most of the government and Afro-Guyanese forming the majority of the opposition as well as the civil service, the police service and the army?

That has always been the game. Afro-Guyanese have always overpowered Indo-Guyanese. That is why, Indos ran away by the thousands. I was robbed twice in Georgetown.

So what you are saying is that the PPP is a total failure to make the necessary changes. OML.

No, You are. The PPP made a lot of changes but the APNU/AFC colation undo them.  You should focus on the changes and new developments that are happening right now.  The PNC cannot do what the PPP/C is doing to the country.  You are blind to the faults of the PNC.

You are one who said : Nothing changed from the PNC days.

Please give examples of some of changes that the PPP implemented  which the APNU/PNC undo.  Please support your  statements with facts.

Fact: The number of persons murdered in Guyana during the first half of 2023 has increased by 36.6 percent, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) reported. That number represents an average of at least 13 persons being murdered every month under the PPP/C watch.

That's all? 13?  Do you know how many were murdered and raped under the central direction of the PNC? You should go and live with them.

Thanks for saying that your PPP is no better than the  defunct PNC. Sad!

Please note the PPP received only 50.69% votes in the last election. That means 49.31% voted against them.

When is your PPP going to change the one race police force?

Things are so great under your PPP/C, why are you still hiding out in Brampton?

Let's see>

1>The fiber Optic Cable project agreement signed in 2010 but initial works began in 2011 by the PPP was intended to bring E-Government connectivity between Brazil and Guyana by way of the Linden-Lethem trail. The US32M (GUY6.4$billion) dollar price tag was a botched attempt due to cables buried being destroyed. Guyanese taxpayers spent over US$5M (GUY 1 billion) dollars without completion and was eventually discarded by the coalition government in 2016 after feasibility was conducted in partnership with the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph company.

2>Next on the list was Skeldon Sugar Factory commissioned in 2010, was a mega project which was supposed to be the panacea for the sugar industry. The US$200M factory at the time larger than the budget of the country was built with the capacity to crush 1.5 million tonnes of sugar and produce 150,000 tonnes of very high polarization (VHP) sugar along with a 10-megawatt (MW) energy cogeneration plant to supply the national grid. Neither of the two project components became reality as the government had to spend additional millions to repair defects and the citizens of our country are still fetching that exorbitant cost.

3> the One Laptop per family initiative would have been the most significant project in Guyana’s history of delivering laptops to family, students and educators bringing information technology at the fingertips of each Guyanese, has resulted in an abysmal failure. The project began without oversight of internal controls such as a board of directors and a budget that was inflated with excessive personnel. Alongside with poor accountability and transparency, the project initial goal to deliver 90,000 computers only 31,697 was delivered (35%), 1,875 was unaccounted without a formal investigation and the 3,158 in stock that was defective totaled to 5,136 were either stolen or are defective at an actual loss of  GUY$306,160,171.

I don't think Ali nor Jagdeo support your racist sentiments.
