Three female guards, aged 64, 56 and 43, were left traumatised after a seven-man gang tied their hands and feet, during a pre-dawn robbery yesterday at a Busta Beverage Company site at Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
The men, who had two handguns, only managed to cart off a flat-screen television set, a digital video recorder, a power saw, and a mobile phone belonging to one of the guards, who are all Professional Guard Service (PGS) personnel.
Police sources said that the robbers gained entry by scaling the fence around 02.30 hrs. They first held a 56-year-old female guard at gunpoint, tied her up, then relieved her of two cell phones.
They then proceeded to the back of the compound and tied up a second guard, aged 64. Police said that one of the intruders went to the front gate security hut, held the third guard at gunpoint, then took her to the back of the compound. After tying up the third guard, one of the men entered a building in the compound and removed a television set, valued at $100,000 and an electric saw before fleeing.
While the facility was equipped with security cameras, police were unable to view the robbery, since the thieves had carted off the digital video recorder.

Remanded to prison: Wayne Griffith

Wayne Griffith, 29, of Bagotville, West Bank Demerara, yesterday made an appearance before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and denied a charge of robbery.
The charge alleged that on July 25, last, at Stabroek Market, in the company of another robbed Rezal Khan of a 25 pennyweight gold band and one 10 penny weight gold chain.
Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh objected to bail being granted to the defendant citing that he is a repeat offender and the penalty the charge attracts.
The Prosecutor stated that on the day in question the victim and his wife were in the vicinity of Stabroek Market, heading to the Stelling when they were approached by the defendant who ordered him to hand over his jewelry.
The victim, being fearful for his life, handed over his jewelry to Griffith who then made good his escape. The victim subsequently raised an alarm.
The court heard that police responded promptly and Griffith was arrested while his accomplice escaped.
The prosecutor told the court that when a search was conducted on the defendant the victim’s gold band was found in his pocket.
The prosecutor further informed the court that a confrontation was held between Griffith and Khan. The former was positively identified.
The police prosecutor told the court that the case file is still incomplete. According to information the defendant was currently out on bail after being charged with a $9M robbery at Princess Casino.
It is alleged that on April 29, at Providence, East Bank Demerara Griffith while being in the company of two others, and armed with guns, robbed Daniel Roberts and Alfea Gajadhar of $8,951,000 – property of the Princess Ramada Casino.
According to police, four men arrived at the Ramada Hotel in a white motorcar bearing a fake number plate. They were armed with guns and entered the casino and discharged several rounds.
They relieved a security guard of his shotgun and ordered patrons and staffers to lie on the ground. It was reported that the accused also held a cashier at gunpoint and made off with local and foreign currency.
Three of the alleged bandits reportedly escaped on foot, while police were able to apprehend Griffith since he was allegedly left behind in the casino.
The defendant will make his next court appearance on August 11.

A woman, tired of being abused almost daily, fatally stabbed her partner around 21:30 hrs on Friday at Queen Street, Kitty.
Devon Ali died around 11:00 hrs yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. He was stabbed to the chest. Lisa Hayley, a mother of two, has been detained at the Kitty Police Station.

Last week, the duo got into a heated argument and Hayley claimed that the suspect beat her and threatened to kill her. Tired of being abused, she moved from her Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara (EBD) home and went to stay with her brother in Kitty.
Last night, Ali reportedly turned up at the woman’s home and demanded to talk to her. “Her brother told him that she wasn’t there,” a source said.

Camden was a very nice city in the early 1970s. I remember a  mall with families and children playing happily.

I believe the only place closely with poverty  [like Camden] in Canada would be First  Nations reserve. It is  not even total poverty with government tax free assistance. But inexperience management of their resources.

Tola this tread really serves no purpose. It does not offer any solutions to the crime situation in Guyana. The Gadaha, Deryck Rugbeer should focus on his own backyard where the crime situation is worse than Guyana. There are many cities like Camden that are worse than "3rd World Countries".

Mits, compared to the last government, at least this government and the police are more  active about the crime situations. Massacres of sleeping people and assassination of a government minister  took place  during the last government.

What also surprised me during the last government, many of the crimes was against Indians, yet their Indian government did little to prevent it.  A lot of talk where I was present, but no action.   

As you said, many cities in the US and other countries are much worse with crime and violence than Guyana.

I did not realize Camden became so violent, because I really enjoyed being there, when I worked on ships. It must be why people who live there are so uptight and negative, because negativism breeds more negativism.

Under the PPP watch, their own, Sat Sawh was executed. Jagdeo said he knew the perps. Yet they failed to arrest or prosecute anyone.  The crime rate is down. The only difference now is that more crimes are being reported in the media.

Jagdeo was smart to give out the broadcast licence, because who controls the media, also controls what the people hear, thus controlling them [like sheep] to some extent.

The media is giving too much details on many of the crimes. They are responsible for some of the copy cats and the increased brutality. They publish the size of the booty thereby giving the criminal minded that crime pays. Corruption now seems to be an acceptable culture. We need stronger laws; the current laws are archaic.

Because the police and soldiers were Black PNC supporters and were in cohoots with the PNC to rob and kill indians.

This is the truth, the PNC/AFC were behind the crime wave,  the PPP fell short by not inspiring their supporters to join the police and army en masse. Look at the US and see that whites are the majority in the armed forces and police. You can not outsource your security to another race and expect justice. That is why today in the US so many Blacks are killed by police. In Guyana it is the reverse, Indians are killed by Blacks with political ties. Get your head out of the sand and see the reality of Guyana.

Bandits storm second E-Networks store
August 4, 20176
… robbery attacks targeted – police suggests

Personnel in two Police administrative divisions are investigating separate robberies of E-Networks stores that occurred mere hours apart, and are said to be probing the possibly that the attacks on the two stores have been targeted operations.
On Thursday, the E-Networks store at Cornelia Ida (CI), West Coast Demerara was attacked and robbed; whereas, on Wednesday — just the day before – its counterpart at the Mon Repos Mall on the East Coast of Demerara was attacked and robbed.
Guyana Times understands that, despite occurring several miles apart, the two robberies were executed in similar fashion.
According to a police release, at about 11:45h on Thursday, two males with handguns entered the E-Networks store at CI and robbed two cashiers and seven customers of their valuables before fleeing in a waiting motorcar. The victims were ordered to lie on the floor and were bound with plastic handcuffs.
Up to press time, no suspect was arrested for the crimes, but a manhunt to nab the bandits is ongoing.
Thursday’s robbery at CI is the second attack on the company in as many days; as, on Wednesday, at about 15:00h, two bandits had entered the E-Networks Store housed in the lower flat of the Mon Repos Mall and had forced 3 customers and 2 staff members to lie on the ground before stealing their cash, mobile phones and other values, including i-pads and the store’s sales for the day.
Police had disclosed that one of the bandits in this robbery was armed with a gun, but no one was injured as the bandits fled in a waiting motorcar, similar to what had occurred in the West Coast Demerara attack.

Murder accused shot dead after starting unrest at Timehri Prison

 Aug 05, 2017  News 0 Comments

–  reportedly tried to escape, ignored repeated warnings to halt 

A 24-year-old remand prisoner was shot dead at around 17.00 hrs yesterday, shortly after instigating a violent clash between himself and other inmates at the Timehri penitentiary.

Deputy Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels

Winston Hinds, called “Town Man,” of Blue Berry Hill, Wismar, was shot in the stomach by a prison officer. He was pronounced dead at the East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital.

Deputy Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels told Kaieteur News that based on information he received, Hinds and another prison had started a ruckus between other inmates in one of the dormitories. They were then transferred to another dormitory, where they began to break up beds and assault other inmates. He said that some of the prisoners had to receive medical treatment.

Kaieteur News was told that shortly after, Hinds darted past a prison officer and “in a split second” fled into the compound. It was there that he was shot.

Samuels said that the rank who shot Hinds “is assisting the police with their investigations.”

A Department of Public Information (DPI) release stated that the murder accused had repeatedly ignored all warnings issued by prison officers.

According to the release, several prisoners, who were armed with improvised weapons, were involved in “a serious physical altercation.”

“Prison officers attempted to restore order by breaking up the violent fracas. During this process, Hinds fled into the prison yard in an attempted bid to escape. Clear and repeated efforts were issued for Hinds to desist, but he refused in every instance and continued running,” the release added.

“Prison officers were left with no option but to curtail his escape bid. This necessitated the use of live rounds as a last resort, after every option had failed.

“Hinds was struck by a single round and was taken to the East Bank Demerara Hospital Complex, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. “

The release stated that the slain prisoner’s next of kin was informed and the police are conducting an investigation.

“The Guyana Prison Service deeply regrets the loss of Mr. Hinds’ life and extends deepest condolences to his family, relatives and friends. The GPS will also reiterate its internal calls for all prisoners to conduct themselves responsibly, to resist any temptation to escape from lawful custody, to obey the instructions of prison officers at all times, and to serve their sentences as mandated by the courts, until such time as they are eligible for release.”

Hinds, previously charged with five counts of armed robbery, was remanded in January 2016, for the February 2015 killing of Richard Remington, 43, at Cholmondeley Hill, Wismar.

Remington’s decomposing remains were found in a clump of bushes along a track in the vicinity of Matthews Lane in the Christianburg/Cholmondeley Hill area on February 12, last year. He had been shot three times, including once to the head.

The fatal shooting was the continuation of several weeks of violence at the country’s prisons.

The unrest began with the July 9 destruction by fire of most of the Georgetown Prison, the killing of prison officer Odinga Wickham, the wounding of his colleague, Hubert Trim, and the escape of eight dangerous inmates.

This was followed by the escape of 13 prisoners from the Lusignan Prison.

Last Saturday, security ranks at Lusignan were forced to shoot several prisoners with pellets and rubber bullets after coming under attack.

Joint Services raids have unearthed several prohibited items at Lusignan, New Amsterdam and Timehri Prisons.

On Thursday, security personnel seized some 180 to 183 grammes of marijuana that was being smuggled into the prison in meals sent to an inmate.

A Prison Officer, with some 20 years’ service, was implicated in the find, and remains in custody.

Marijuana is said to be a highly valued commodity in the prisons, reportedly selling for as much as three times its street value.

Also, between 09:40 and 12:30hrs, ranks of the Joint Services found eight lighters, seven smoking utensils, 16 improvised weapons, eight packs of cigarettes, two dining forks, two pairs of scissors, five cell phone chargers, a bottle of pepper sauce, three cellular phones, a tattoo machine, a quantity of tobacco and 305 grammes of cannabis at the Timehri Prison.

Also on Thursday, security personnel thwarted attempts by a Cevons Waste Management employee, to smuggle over 860 grammes of cannabis and two cartons of cigarettes into the Lusignan Prison.

Some 24 grams of cannabis were also allegedly found in the pocket of one of the Cevons employees. He was sentenced to three years in jail yesterday.

That same day, police and prison ranks found several improvised weapons at the Lusignan holding area.

Between 10.30 hrs to 13.30 hrs yesterday, a snap prison search in two dorms, two landings cells at the New Amsterdam Prisons unearthed eight cellular phones, three cell phone batteries, three ear phones and  a cell phone display, five cell phone chargers, 16 cigarette lighters, two tattoo machines, five improvised weapons, 20 packs of cigarettes and three grammes of cannabis.

Richmond pensioner endures early morning burglary

 Aug 05, 2017  News 0 Comments

– fifth time in four years

Police on the Essequibo Coast have launched an investigation into the burglary of the home of a 64-year-old female pensioner.
The residence of Evra Nedd, located at lot 2 Richmond Housing Scheme, was broken into by an unarmed individual. The woman is traumatized by the intrusion.
Investigations have so far revealed that the suspect gained entry to Nedd’s home, while she was out, through a window in a room at the back of the house. It is believed that the suspect concealed himself in the woman’s home and waited for her to return. The woman, who is usually accompanied home by her friend, was unfortunately alone on the night of the incident.
Hours prior, Nedd had left her home to attend a wake in the neighborhood. She returned home at around 9pm, and says she had a feeling that something was odd.
“I came in and put on the lamp because there was blackout. But it gotta be that he was in the house already. Probably he hide in the wardrobe in the back room. I sit down in the chair, but no sleep was coming to me. So I went in the front room and lay down on the bed. I was just dropping into a dose when I feel somebody jump on the bed and say ‘shush, me nak gon kill yuh, where the money?’”
Nedd said she got confused and tried to keep calm as much as possible. “I didn’t risk to fight back because I am not seeing well in one of my eyes,” the woman said.
Nedd said that the ordeal lasted approximately 15 minutes.
“I saw the person, because by then the current come on back and the light in the kitchen was on. When he jumped on the bed, I feel he hair and it soft and straight. Then in the light I saw that he had on a three-quarter black pants, but he pull the white vest he had on over he face, so I couldn’t make out his face clearly.”
Nedd said that the suspect grabbed her by the throat and took her outside while he searched the home for cash. “He tumble up the bed and find sixty thousand dollars under the mattress. That was the money for my bills and other medical expenses. He then go and tumble up all the drawers,”
Upon finding the money, the suspect made his escape through the kitchen door.
Meanwhile, the woman’s relatives are claiming that the Police took six hours to respond to the scene – just a stone’s throw away from the Anna Regina Station. Yesterday’s burglary marked the fifth experienced by the woman in her home. Though it’s the first after an extensive period, Nedd believes that “they would be back”.
