A mother of seven has been forced to leave her home and run for her life with her children after

Sonett Elcock

members from the notorious gang, “Gaza Strip” in ‘C’ Field Sophia, Georgetown, threatened to rape and kill her four daughters.
The woman, Sonett Elcock, said that the problem started three years ago when someone broke into her home and stole a television, money and a bicycle.
Through the grapevine, she was informed that her television was at the home of a man, who goes by the name of Turkey, and is believed to be the leader of “Gaza Strip,” which has more than 30 members from different areas.
“I took the police there to get my TV and the police found drugs. They locked him (Turkey) up and released him after a few days.” Elcock recalled.
She said that since that day, the members of the gang have made her life miserable. They broke into her shop and home countless times and have even threatened to kill her. A female gang member identified as Samantha ran to chop her last Sunday.
According to Elcock, on the morning of June 17, last, two persons broke into her shop. She said when she checked the surveillance footage, she noticed “Samantha” and “Prince” carting off items from the building. She reported the matter but no one was arrested.
“Last Sunday, I was going home and Samantha run to chop me because she heard I reported the matter. I had to run for my life,” Elcock said. She added that since that day, she never returned home until last Thursday when she went to check on her property.
“They broke into my home and empty my house. Only the furniture they left,” the woman related. “They are sending text messages to my children phone saying that they will rape and kill them. I have four daughters and I am not going to go back there for them to do anything to my children.”
After living there for 16 years, the woman has now decided to sell her property and move to another location with her family.
“Those people are killers. They robbed and killed a lot of shop people in Sophia. Right now, one person in jail for a murder and others are on the run,” she related.
The devastated mother also lashed out at the police for not offering assistance to her. Her plea for justice even took her to the Crime Chief, Wendell Blanhum’s office but she was turned away.

The stats are there take a peek,don't shove it under the rug crimes committed by Indians are very brutal.

As for the PNC which is part of APNU/AFC i am watching them.

The purpose of this thread is to track crime, not to inculpate one group or another. But that being said, the Indians are normally the victims of black criminals. Recently we note that under the Granger hard times, even Indians are killing Indians. 

Bandits rob Eccles CPG member, neighbour

Two residents of the Young Professionals Housing Scheme, in Eccles, on the East Bank of Demerara – one of

Vice Chairman of the Eccles CPG, Balram Seopersaud

whom is the Vice Chairman of the Community’s Policing Group – were robbed in broad daylight on Friday by four gunmen.
Reports are that on Friday morning at about 11:00h, Eon Wills, a resident of the community, was perusing the streets in his motor vehicle, when he noticed four men vacating a home in the area that was known to be unoccupied. He told Guyana Times that his curiosity arose, so he drove closer to the home, hoping to “get a better look” at what was transpiring.
However, he was spotted by one of the men, who then began calling out to him. Wills relayed that he did not respond to the calls and instead drove away and opted to stop at a neighbour, who resided two houses away from him.
His neighbour, who is the Vice Chairman of the Eccles Community Policing Group, Balram Seopersaud, told this publication that when he noticed Wills parked in front of his home, he went out to greet him but before he could speak, a gun was pointed to his head and he was being ordered by a gunman to lie face down on the parapet.
“It happened around 11:30h. I usually work my bus in the mornings, and I just came in and I parked and saw a black car reversing and I knew it was my neighbour, so I went out to see what was up. By the time he took his windows down and I duck, I saw a white car pull up at the side and a gunman came up and put a gun to my head and I saw another one had a gun to his (Wills) window and the gunmen told us to go on the ground,” Seopersaud related.
Seopersaud and Wills highlighted that they both followed the gunmen’s instructions and the four men began to search them and rid them of over $300,000 in cash and jewellery, well as the keys to their respective vehicles.
The gunmen then instructed Wills to accompany Seopersaud into his house and began to search and remove all valuables, including four cellular phones, jewellery and one 42-inch flat screen television.
According to the duo, the four men who had their faces covered throughout the entire robbery, then vacated the home and drove off in a white Toyota Allion.
The Police arrived subsequently after, and it is reported that the Allion, which was utilised by the gunmen, was found abandoned. Investigations are ongoing.

‘Agricola gang’ executes former murder accused

Aug 02, 2016 News 0 Comments

Orin David called “Malik”

Former murder accused, Orin David, called “Malik” was gunned down in front of his Lot 89 Laing Avenue, Georgetown home, around 15:00 hrs yesterday in the presence of his reputed wife and other relatives .
The 33-year-old man was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), shortly after one of five men came out of a car and pumped several bullets into him. The murder weapon is believed to be an AK-47.
According to reports, the 33-year-old man had a confrontation several times with an Agricola, East Bank Demerara (EBD) resident who he had bailed out of jail some time last year.
Yesterday, David and the individual were involved in a heated argument again, since the Agricola resident refused to return the $150,000 the father of one had paid to get him out of prison.
After the argument, the Agricola resident went away but later returned with four other persons in two vehicles and executed the former murder accused.
The five persons have been identified by the man’s reputed wife, Joycelyn Laurie, and other relatives.
Laurie, in an interview yesterday said the persons who executed David were his friends at one time who visited their home and ate.
The woman explained that some time last year, her partner’s friend was jailed for a robbery. “He was calling (David) all the time for bail money, now when David bailed him out, he doesn’t want to pay back.”
According to Laurie, every time her partner saw the Agricola resident, he would ask for his money and the two of them drifted apart because he refused to pay back the money.
“They had an argument for the money and today, David see the boy and he chuck him and the boy go away and come back with two cars with some men. I tell them that y’all are friends and it ain’t call for all that. I hear when one of them ask the other one where his AK was and they went away,” the woman recalled.
She said that she was at a neighbour’s home when she heard someone saying that the men had returned.
“When I look, I see they patting down David to see if he had anything and all I hear was ‘pow, pow’ and I run,” Laurie said.
She added that the men escaped in both cars while her partner collapsed on the roadway.
Last year February, the father of one was freed, having spent five years in prison for the 2010 murder of Mahaica farmer, Lakhram Bishundial.
Bishundial, called Mohan, was shot during a robbery at Hope Turn, East Coast Demerara, as he was on his way to a nearby Ashram to make preparations for his younger brother’s wedding.
David and another person, Shawn Thom, were subsequently charged for the murder. Thom was freed a week before David.
On July 12, 2015, David, who had allegedly tossed a firearm in a trench during a police patrol exercise on July 9, was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun when he was not the holder of a firearm license.
He was remanded to prison. Investigations are ongoing.

Shooter in Green Ice Taxi Service Robbery…Another case of Police Victimization?

Aug 04, 2016 News 0 Comments

Last June, Jamal Lewis, was shot in the head during a daylight robbery at the Green Ice taxi service base at South Ruimveldt. A man by the name of Sean Blyden has since been charged in connection with the crime.

Robbery Accused, Sean Blyden

According to Blyden’s relatives, he is innocent. Moreover, based on their evidence they believe it is a clear case of police victimization. They have secured footage from security cameras attached to the taxi base which reportedly shows a different individual shooting the 15 year old Jamal.
Blyden was arrested two weeks ago on Monday June 23, 2016. According to the relatives the arresting officers informed the young man that he was being arrested since they believe his motorbike was involved in a robbery. However, based on reports, the men who were involved in the robbery had escaped in a silver Spacio car.
Blyden’s relatives reported that he was asked whether somebody else used his motorbike and he responded in the affirmative. However, even with this information it is alleged that the officers showed no interest in the other individual. The man’s relatives believe that there is a conspiracy afoot to victimize Blyden.
After being arrested, he was taken to the Diamond Police Station and was denied visitors. Further, additional details were reportedly withheld regarding the nature of the offence.
Based on these developments, the relatives said that the following day they approached Commander of ‘A’ Division Clifton Hicken who informed them that Blyden was held for the robbery at the GI taxi service where a teen was shot in his eye.
According to a cousin of Blyden, they were told that Blyden was to undergo an identification parade. However after making checks with the Brickdam and Ruimveldt police stations, no such parade was being conducted.
They then returned to the Diamond station where they heard Blyden calling for one of his cousins. She said that after perusing the compound Blyden came out of a room reportedly looking dazed. When asked what transpired he was unable to respond.
His relatives decided to stick around a bit more and later saw four young men running out of the Diamond station. According to one relative, one of the young men informed the family that they were asked to stand in an ID Parade but already knew they would not have been pointed out. It appeared to the family that the parade was set up to appear legitimate.
When the family approached the taxi service they were told by a number of employees that Blyden was not the man involved in the matter. According to the relatives, Blyden works in the East Ruimveldt Market at a mechanic shop and would frequent the taxi service to deliver money and stocks. He is apparently well known by the employees at the base.
The family believes that a key police officer involved in the investigation is spitefully targeting Blyden due to his friendship with the infamous Shaka Chase. They told this publication that they have heard the officer saying that he was a member of Shaka Chase’s ‘gang’ and will not let him go.
In 2013 Shaka Chase was freed of a murder charge for the death of policeman Romain Cleto.
Blyden’s relatives said that they were able to track down the real shooter in the incident. They said that the man is related to the key investigator and that is the reason why he is being ignored.
However, they managed to lead police to the man and he was arrested. He too was taken to the Diamond Police Station. Apparently the young man who was shot identified the man as the person who shot him but since the case has gone so far, Blyden would still have to undergo trial until his lawyer is able to introduce the new evidence in court.
According to relatives, due to their interest in the matter they have received threats that they will be locked up if they don’t stay away from the matter, but they are adamant that their cousin is not guilty of the offence and will continue in their quest to prove Blyden’s innocence.

Cops accused of robbing miners of raw gold

Aug 03, 2016 

 

Constable Akeem Thompson

Five policemen accused of robbing three gold miners of 16 pennyweights of gold while on patrol were ordered to post $600,000 bail each and report to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, Eve Leary, Georgetown.
The cops, Constable Kosi Arthur, 25, of Linden, Region 10; Constable Raphael Lowenfield, 25, of 486 Section ‘D’ Block ‘X’ Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara; Lance Corporal Mark Fernandes, 34, of Annandale, Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara; Constable Delroy Duncan of 71 Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara and Constable Akeem Thompson, 21, of 65 Bel Air Village, Georgetown, were all arraigned before City Magistrate Judy Latchman.
It is alleged that on July 25, at Timehri, East Bank Demerara, they robbed Sherman Noel of five pennyweights of raw gold valued $55,000. It is also alleged that on July 25, at the same location, they robbed Heeralall Girdhari of four pennyweights of raw gold valued $44,000. They are also accused of robbing Euri Samuels of six pennyweights of raw gold valued $66,000.
The accused, who were all handcuffed and placed in the prisoners’ dock, pleaded not guilty to the allegations. They were each instructed to post $200,000 bail on each charge of the three charges and return to court on August 14, for statements.
Attorney Patrice Henry during a bail application asked the court for his clients to be released on minimal bail. He said that Constable Fernandes has been a serving member of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) for the past 14 years. Constable Thompson and Constable Duncan, Henry said, have four years of service in the GPF, while Constable Arthur has two years of service.
Henry told the court that the officers have unblemished criminal records and pose no risk of flight.
According to the lawyer, the police officers were placed on close arrest during the investigation. He said that they were then released on open arrest.

Constable Kosi Arthur

Henry explained that on the day in question, his clients were on patrol duties in the area when they received certain instructions via radio set. He added that the policemen were told that some miners had stolen gold from their employers and proceeded to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA). Three days after, Henry said, the suspects made the allegation against his clients, who are all serving members of the GPF.
The attorney argued that there is no substantial evidence against the officers to charge them. He pointed out that none of the alleged stolen gold was found in his clients’ possession, and that it was strange that the virtual complainants in the matter were not present at yesterday’s court hearing.
Police Prosecutor Shellon Jupiter did not oppose bail for the defendants. However, she asked that same be granted in a substantial amount to ensure their return for trial. Jupiter also requested for the defendants to lodge their passports and report to the Officer in Charge of CID Headquarters, Eve Leary.
Prosecutor Jupiter stated that the complainants were robbed at around 14:20hrs on the day in question. She said that they were at Base Camp Stephenson, Timehri, when they were approached by the officers and relieved of the gold.
It was reported that the ranks visited the area after receiving information that the miners were allegedly involved in illegal activities.
