Four bandits, each armed with a gun, broke into a home at Number 43 Village, Corentyne, Berbice in the wee hours of yesterday and terrorized the family before making off with $1.1 million, US$4,000, SRD$13,000, approximately $1.5 million in jewellery, two iPhones worth $240,000, one Samsung Galaxy worth $85,000 and one laptop worth $55,000. Three persons have since been arrested.

Speaking to Stabroek News, Sattie Etwaru, 37, related that the ordeal, which began at 2.02 am yesterday lasted for 25 minutes.

She said they heard when the bandits were attempting to enter the house as they were hitting one of the front windows with a piece of wood. The window broke and three men entered, she recalled, while one remained on the road. According Etwaru, the men started to hit her and she pleaded with them not to hurt anyone, saying she would give them everything.

She said that while the men were breaking the window her children ran into the backroom with her and they started to raise an alarm. Her mother-in-law, who resides in the house next door, opened her side window to see what was going on, but the bandits fired shots at her house and ordered her to close the window. The mother-in-law said neighbours were awakened by this time, but they were afraid to come out.

Etwaru, who was at home with her three daughters aged 17, 14,  and six months old; her 14-year-old adopted son and her 64-year-old father-in-law, explained that after the men entered the house, they took the same piece of wood they used to break the window and broke the room door to enter. “Dem come in and say dem come for all de money abbi get and jewellery,” she said. After ransacking the room and taking everything Etwaru gave them, the three bandits left. But after speaking with the bandit standing guard on the road, she said, they returned asking for more money and jewellery.

Etwaru recalled hearing one of the bandits call another by the name, “Kishan.”

She said her father-in-law was injured after one of the bandits took a rum bottle and hit him on the head. Her son was also hit on his head and Etwaru sustained injuries to her arms. The men also escaped with Etwaru’s identification card and driver’s licence.

Neighbours said they telephoned the Number 51 Police Station while the men were breaking the window to enter the house, as well as when they were in the house. However, the police arrived ten minutes after the bandits left.

Etwaru’s husband, Nakool Manohar, who was away on business at the time of the attack, stated that as a fisherman and a businessman, he has applied for a licence for a firearm many times in the past, but his applications were not approved.

The family is now fearful to go on with their lives.

Meanwhile, according to Commander of ‘B’ Division Ian Amsterdam three persons have been arrested. He stated that the victims had cameras on their house and although the bandits were masked, the police are working on identifying them, as the investigation continues.

Listen buddy, criminals will come in all shapes, forms, and sizes now.  It is the survival of the fittest.  When you can't find a job you borrow, thief, and kill to feed your family.  Worse yet, if you had a job and you get fired and someone less qualified got your job it creates a mindset of revenge and don't care a damn!

They need to trace the time the call was received by the police and the response time and take action if need be.  Fire the Police if they have to, to send a message to the others.

  In most of these cases the people are willing to give them everything and they still resort to 'beating the crap out of them'.  These sickos need to be dealt with and given the toughest penalties, the current penalties are not enough.  One wonders if a part of the 'MO' of the criminals is indeed ethnic cleansing.

How about the probability that it will most definitely be an indian junkie zombie robbing his own?  Why the obscene racist and divisive speculation rather than the usual one?

1.  Are all criminals black? NO!

2.  Are all victims Indian? NO!

3.  Did this type of crime exist under the Jagdeo/Ramotar/Rohee regime?  YES!

So why don't you sit your tired brown bai KKK ass down and cease with your whining because you can no longer scream "ahbe pan tap".

Bai KP, please excuse Mr. T.  Apparently, he doesn't understand how indian people operate. They, for the most part feel the money, jewels and other valuables are more safe and secure at home under the mattress, chaddar or pillow case as oppose to being in the bank.

Let's try to take the race thing out of this.

Guyanese on whole operates like that, they do keep money and valuables at home.

Even here in America you read about Asians who keep large sums at home.

Mr. T is implying that this money is illegal/untaxed.  Racist?  Most definitely yes!  No proof of this has been offered. And even if it is, that doesn't excuse the crime.

I will not opine on whether there is too much cash until I find out what the banking arrangements in the area are. Guyana is very under banked, especially outside of the major centers.   I don't know that I would use a stand alone ATM, assuming that they exist, given the high levels of crime.

There's nothing racial here, chief. it is a known fact that this is how indians  especially in the countryside operate. this is like an age old custom. I can tell u this because I've seen it firsthand.

OK. Because the criminals were Indians you rationalize their behavior.

Had they been black you wouldn't.   Don't bawl how all the low level civil servants are black, as only 5000 of them exist. With the private sector being blatantly racist they could have made the same excuses that you do.

Its amazing the hypocrisy when it comes to bad acting once the person is Indian.

In fact in NJ there were bandits breaking into the homes of Asian Indians. after weddings, as they knew that there will be ample cash, and jewelry.

I see no excuse for that in the USA, which is moving towards being a cashless society. Under banked Guyana, where debit cards cannot be used as much, its a whole different story.

In the US there are dangerous areas where crime is very high. However, they are safe areas where you live in peace and not have to worry too much about becoming a victim of crime. Guyana on the other hand there is no area where you can live in peace and experience a sense of security.  They bandits will get you no matter where you go.

Hmmm.  Brown bai  KKK began to scream that the crime was part of APNU's Indian Eradication plot.  "Savage, lazy blackman a beat up poor innocent hard working Indians".

I am not saying that.  I am not out to absolve any Indian criminals. They should punish like any other. What I'm pissed about is your excuses when it comes to black criminals and the fabrications you make about Indos being conspirators and the PNC and blacks scapegoats.

And what exactly is racist in asking about whether tax has been paid on it and why they had so much money on them? Money is colour blind. And I am damn well sure that if you were caught walking the street in the UK with that kind of money the police and the tax man would be asking a lot of questions of you.

Now you want to make me look like the racist, when it is in fact you and the rest of your brown bai KKK who are!

And yes there are instances where Indians have paid blacks to commit crimes on other Indians, even extending to murder.  One instance of that was discussed on GNI last year!
