New Amsterdam rocked by a spate of robberies

Police in Berbice are investigating a seven-man armed gang operating out of Mount Sinai, one of the suburbs of New Amsterdam, referred to as Angoy’s Avenue. One of the gang members was arrested on Friday 17 June.
On the morning of Sunday 18 June, the gang reportedly responded by attacking four homes, successfully entering two and terrorizing the families, as they took away cash and other valuables.
Divisional Commander, Assistant Commissioner Ian Amsterdam is of the view that Sunday’s attack was in retaliation of the arrest of a gang member on Friday.
Veronica Balak, 69, of Lot 5 Mount Sinai, was reportedly beaten and robbed by the said gang. According to Balak who lives alone, at about 03:00h on Sunday she heard banging on her door and then four men appeared in her bedroom: “When them come in me tell them me na go holla, an they ask fo money and gold but I tell them that I is a pensioner.”
The elderly woman noted that of the four men, one was armed with a gun, one with a cutlass and one with a crowbar. The defenceless woman related: “When me tell them that me na get gold, them start beat me up, dem knock me all up in me head….”
She said that they ransacked her home and took all of the money she had which was less than $20,000.

Within the hour, four other places were attacked: Budhan’s Housing Scheme, Mount Sinai, including a grocery store, and three houses.
Oliver Ross says his wife was assaulted and a shot fired at him as bandits entered his home. He said it was after 04:30 on Father’s Day when three men entered his Lot 39 home while two remained under his house: “Two of them had guns and one was armed with a cutlass. By the time I heard strange sounds they were already in the house. They put the guns to our head and said bring all the money and the gold and everything that you got.”
Ross said he appealed to the thieves saying that he and his pregnant wife were only middle class and not wealthy but it made no difference as there were threats made to rape his wife: “He grab my wife and pulled her by her hair and I tried to stop him and then he fired a shot at me.”
He said the men ransacked the home during the five minutes they spent and took what they could. It was reported to Police that the bandits relieved Ross of $78,000, a cellular phone, a television set, a tablet and a laptop computer.
At Lot 31 Budhan’s Housing Scheme, Ingrid Soohan, 67, reported that bandits broke the padlock off of her gate and were attempting to get into the downstairs apartment. At the time, she was up already doing her morning chores and thought it was her downstairs tenant returning home. The elderly woman said she called out to her tenant, greeting him and that might have scared the bandits off.
Also at Lot 9 Budhan’s Housing Scheme, householders were alerted after two men with guns had wrenched open a kitchen window. They called out to a neighbour who reported that they were two others under the house.
After the alarm was raised the men jumped over a fence at the front yard and ran further into the scheme.
According to Amsterdam, during last week Police officers were on patrol and in the vicinity of the Berbice River Bridge they intercepted a car and took the driver into custody after not being convinced that he was waiting for a passenger to return with his $300 taxi fare.
However, the following day surveillance footage revealed that a car fitting the description of the one that was parked at D’Edward Village was the car which

Budhan’s Housing Scheme

dropped the men off before the robbery at D’Edward Village earlier that night.
Based on information provided by the driver of the alleged getaway car, Police arrested a suspected gang member on Friday.
The gang is also linked to a robbery of a New Amsterdam Market vendor at his New Street, East Canje home three weeks ago when $1 million in cellular phone cards were stolen.
Meanwhile, two persons are in custody in connection with the Father’s Day robberies. Andrew Carmichael

A Chinese-owned supermarket located along Aubrey Barker Road was robbed yesterday

An image of the robbery taken from the CCTV footage

by four armed bandits. However, the efforts of public spirited citizens and police officers led to the successful capture of one of them. The incident took place around 12: 00 hrs.

Footage from GST supermarket’s CCTV cameras showed that the four men rode into the store’s compound and entered the building under the guise of regular customers. Minutes later, two of the men who were armed, approached the cashier and demanded cash and other valuables. Meanwhile, one of the bandits kept watch at the supermarket’s door. Another took cell phones from other employees along with gold chains and rings.
One of the bandits, dressed in jeans and what appeared to be a white shirt and red cap, secured the backpack with the ill-gotten gains and fled the scene. Alarmed by the screams of the owners, neighbours gave chase to the men who ran into Festival City Exit.
One eye witness said, “We hear de people dem screaming out ‘Thief !Thief! And we come out and we see them so we run behind them. But they run into the streets over there (Festival City Exit) thinking that they gun get away. But remember now, dem street got a set ah cul-de-sac and duh is how we know that dem bannas is nah from round here.

“But the police an all is another session because we call dem long, long and dem ain’t turn up. If they de turn up quick we woulda ketch dem other two men who run in the same area. But is just a few of us went behind them and we couldn’t handle all of them by we self.”
The owners of the supermarket were however, reluctant to speak to the media. One employee nonetheless expressed his disappointment with the tardiness of the police.
The Chinese national said, “I call police long, long time. They take long to come but when they want something they come quick. They here in no time…”
This newspaper understands that the police are treating the matter as an attempted robbery and it is currently being investigated.

Jun 25, 2016 News 0 Comments

Shawn Mc Donald, the porkocker who was found dead at Kurupung last Monday, was bound hand and foot and beaten to death.

This was revealed yesterday during a postmortem, which showed that the 43-year-old sustained a brutal beating.
The attack left him with injuries to the head, a broken shoulder, and a deep cut to the mouth that reportedly caused him to suffocate on his own blood.
His brother, Odinga Mc Donald, who witnessed the postmortem, said that he was also told that there was evidence that the killers had tied his sibling’s limbs.
A police source said that a length of rope was tied to one of the slain man’s wrists.
While the motive for the killing is unclear, Kaieteur News understands that police are looking for three suspects in connection with the killing.
There are reports that the men were seen placing the body in a metal container.
Odinga Mc Donald said that information he received indicated that his brother, who is from Amelia’s Ward, Linden, was slain some time between last Sunday and 16.00 hrs on Monday.
But relatives only learnt of the tragedy on Wednesday, when someone contacted his mother and said, ‘Shawn dead and the body coming out.”
The brother said that he travelled to CID Headquarters, Eve Leary, where police confirmed that they had brought out the body of a ‘Shawn Mc Donald’ from the interior. He subsequently identified the body.
Odinga Mc Donald said that his brother was the eldest of four siblings and had worked in the interior for several years.
Shawn Mc Donald is the ninth person murdered in an interior location for the year.

Robbed: Zabida Ali

Several residents in the Belvedere Corentyne area were mugged and relieved of personal belongings by men residing in the area.
The first incident occurred last Monday on 41-year-old Nalini Narine whose bag was snatched from her person while the woman was walking out her street. It was about 10:00 am.
Narine said that she saw two suspicious boys with bicycles coming towards her.
“When I see them coming, I move out of the way. The younger one passed and snatched my bag but I pull back and the other older one came and he wrenched it out my hand and they rode away.
“I start holler for help and this guy came with his car and we chased them for a good 10 minutes till they drop the bag and jump in the trench”. Narine stated that the muggers who were unmasked were seen in the area one day before another resident was targeted.
“These guys don’t care about anyone. They doing it in broad daylight.”
Another resident also suffered at the hands of the muggers. This time, 60-year-old Nazim Habil was choked and relieved of his bicycle while venturing to the community masjid last Thursday about 19:30 hours. The man said that he was accosted by the two men who demanded that he hand over his cash.
“One of them pull me off me bike and choke meh and holler ‘gimme all de money’ and me seh meh nah get none and them search up meh pockets and shove me down and go way with me bicycle.”
Habil stressed that although a report was made at the Police station, no progress has been made in the investigations.
“You can’t go station and mek report cause them nah do nothing. This thing overbearing. Everyday you ah hear that somebody ah get rob and nobody nah do nothing about it.”
Zabida Ali of Lot 3 B’ Belvedere road was relieved of $42,000 in cash by the said bandits. She stated that last Friday around noon, she was venturing to the Masjid when she noticed a suspicious man riding in circles. She said that the man stopped at a nearby shop before making his move.
“When he stop at the shop, he keep staring in me direction so I get frighten and start run like and when I run, I see he riding coming one full speed and he stretch out he hand and grab me purse and ride away.”
Ali added that an attempt was made to follow the man but that was aborted after he quickly disappeared into the Belvedere backlands.
The victims gave identical descriptions of the unmasked muggers who were riding the same bicycles and clothing when carrying out the attacks.
According to unconfirmed reports, three other residents were also attacked.

Police track cell phone, nab bandits in Berbice hotel

Jun 28, 2016 News 0 Comments

Quick action and brilliant thinking by ranks in Berbice, and by detectives attached to the Blairmont Police Station, led to the capture of two bandits who had earlier robbed a Chinese national. They made the arrests in a hotel.
According to reports, about 14:15 hrs on Sunday, businessman, Shan Goasu, 47, of Regent Street, Georgetown was on his way from Suriname to Georgetown. He reportedly joined the taxi (a black Vehicle) at Springlands with two other passengers. However in the vicinity of No2 village West Coast Berbice the driver took a detour South of the main road and drove the vehicle for about 400 feet.
The hapless man before he realized what was happening was choked into unconsciousness and relieved of his belongings including one gold chain, one gold ring, $300,000, one Iphone, a passport and S’name $2,500.
The man was then dumped out of the car without shirt. The badly bruised Goasu, subsequently regained consciousness and realized he was lying on a dam. The man began running towards the road and upon reaching the main road was rescued by a minibus driver who immediately took him to the Blairmont Police Station where a report was made.
The ranks immediately went into action and a detective decided to place a phone call to the man’s missing phone which gave them a location. The police began tracking the number and came up on the Church View International Hotel.
They quickly cordoned off the location. Getting full cooperation from the owners of the business entity. The police moved in and located the men who had minutes earlier checked in and hadn’t any time to settle. The two were nabbed and searched. During the search the police recovered $200,000, S’name $2500, one Iphone, a passport and a bag containing clothing belonging to Goasu were found.
The men were taken into custody. A search is out for the car and driver who it is believed was a part of the robbery. The missing $100,000 was reportedly taken by the driver as his part in the robbery.
The men are from Corentyne and East Coast Demerara. Efforts are being made to get some assistance from the Berbice Bridge.
Investigations are ongoing.

Apparently you are losing your marbles. Granger et al are responsible for curbing crime, what are they doing to prevent crime? Nothing when it comes to Indian areas.

Man claiming he’s ISIS member threatens to bomb bank, demands $10M – deemed psych patient, charged for similar offence in 2007

Jun 29, 2016 News 0 Comments

Pandemonium erupted at a Regent Street commercial bank yesterday, after a suspected mentally ill man who claimed to been ISIS member threatened to blow up the bank while demanding $10M. He was quickly apprehended. A search revealed that he had no bomb, and this is the second time he has pulled such a stunt.
The drama began at around 09.30 hrs when the 35-year-old man, toting a shoulder bag, entered the Regent Street branch of the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry. He then headed to the upper flat, went to a female supervisor, and said:
“I want money, or I will blow up this bank.” According to a police official, the ‘terrorist’ then handed the terrified supervisor a note which read: “ISIS: There is a bomb in this bag. Give us $10M or we will blow up this bank.”
Instead, the supervisor screamed for security, and guards who were nearby grabbed and subdued the ‘terrorist.’
Bomb experts who were summoned searched the suspect’s bag, and found a knife and a few documents.
Police are attempting to have the suspect undergo psychiatric evaluation, since his actions have led them to surmise that he may be mentally unsound.
This appears to be the case, since Kaieteur News has confirmed that the Charlotte Street resident pulled a similar stunt almost nine years ago at another commercial bank.
It is alleged that on November 8, 2007, the same man entered the Citizen’s Bank in Camp Street and gave a teller a note in which he demanded $1M, while claiming to have a gun.
Instead, the teller reportedly activated an alarm and security staffers apprehended the ‘robber.’ No gun was found on him. Reports at the time indicated that he had been recently deported from Canada. He appeared in court on November 14, and pleaded not guilty to attempting to commit a felony.
His attorney told the court that the accused is a vendor and had a problem of “mental delusion” and that he is frequently examined by a doctor. He reportedly did not take his medication on the day of the alleged robbery attempt. His counsel also said that the offence was a bailable one and there was no allegation of any weapon being used.
The accused was granted bail in the sum of $150,000.

"Pandemonium erupted at a Regent Street commercial bank yesterday, after a suspected mentally ill man who claimed to been ISIS member threatened to blow up the bank while demanding $10M.

One of the bandits known as “Pragso”

BL Beer Garden

During the wee hours of Sunday, three men broke down the backdoor of popular drinking spot, BL Beer Garden at Lot 9 Public Road, Albouystown, and robbed businessman Giriraj Bridgelall aka Rocky, savagely beating him in the process.
The entire robbery was captured on camera. The video clearly shows the face of at least two of the bandits. A third partially concealed his face with a piece of cloth.
Footage captured by an outdoor surveillance camera shows the three men approaching the back of the building around 2am, checking a window and upon noticing the camera, removing it. Kaieteur News had an opportunity to view the security footage that was captured by internal cameras. They show a sleeping Bridgelall and his wife in the shop. Upon hearing the noise of the door being breached, Bridgelall rushed out of bed only to be thrown into a corner by one of the men.
While Bridgelall was being assaulted, one of the bandits stuck a gun to his wife’s head and relieved her of her wedding and engagement rings. The men continued beating Bridgelall, stomping him to the brink of unconsciousness.
The video shows one of the men about to strike Bridgelall in the back with a heavy wooden stool but his accomplice stopped him. Bridgelall’s father posited that had the bandit hit Bridgelall, his son would have sustained a broken back at the very least.
After the savage beating, the men gagged and bound Bridgelall and proceeded to search the premises for valuables.
The bandits carted off $497,000 in cash and a number of miscellaneous articles. They subsequently made good their escape with their loot.
Shortly after the ordeal, Bridgelall recovered enough to go to the Ruimveldt Police Station and lodged a report. The police reportedly went to the location and reviewed the surveillance footage. According to reports the police have identified at least one of the perpetrators as “Pragso”.
Some close friends of Bridgelall have also identified another of the robbers by his alias “Turrell”. The men are reportedly well known criminals.
