Guard shot in foiled midnight heist outside bank


 

Police stepped up the hunt today for two gunmen who shot a Professional Guard Service rank during a foiled heist just before midnight outside the Demerara Bank Limited in Camp Street.
Security guard Michael De Clou was shot at least twice in the buttocks by one of the shotgun-toting men after he refused to hand over a bag of cash that the PGS ranks were preparing to deposit at the bank.
The gunmen, who arrived at the scene in a car, were forced to retreat empty-handed after the wounded guard returned fire.
From all appearances, the PGS team, who were travelling in a security van, was trailed to the bank after picking up cash deposits from two Royal Castle outlets in Sheriff Street and South Ruimveldt.
Kaieteur News understands that De Clou had exited the van outside the bank with a money bag, when he observed that a car had stopped behind the PGS vehicle.
Seconds later, two men, including one with a shotgun, exited the car and ordered De Clou to β€œhand over the money.”
Instead, the quick-thinking guard tossed the sack of cash back into the PGS van. The robber with the shotgun then shot De Clou, who responded with gunfire of his own, which forced the gunmen to retreat.
De Clou was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and was still receiving treatment in the hospital’s Accident and Emergency Unit at press time.
He was visited by some of his colleagues and also by his employer, Mr. Sean Kirkpatrick.
The attack is believed to have been recorded on security cameras at the scene.

Miner killed during row at Sand Hills

 

TWENTY-FIVE-year-old Richard Culpepper of One Mile, Potaro was fatally stabbed by another miner during a heated argument last Sunday at Sand Hills, Cuyuni Mazaruni (Region Seven).According to the police, a group of men were imbibing when a row began. It turned into a fight, and the suspect stabbed Culpepper in the chest with a knife. He has since fled further in the back dam.

Police say it is unsure what led to the fatal stabbing, but several miners had gathered for a β€˜drink’ when the incident occurred. They have since revealed the identity of the suspect, whom police are seeking to apprehend.

Divisional Commander Rabindranauth Budhram has said that β€˜disorderly murders’ have always been a problem in the hinterland, as most miners imbibe heavily and get into drunken brawls over women, among other things. He related that the leading contributors to these incidents are alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and worksite disputes involving workers and bosses.

According to police statistics, β€˜F’ Division has recorded 13 murders, most of which have been disorderly murders committed between January and September 2016. For the corresponding period last year, this division had tallied 17 murders.

Ryan β€˜Harry’ Sargeant

NINETEEN-year-old Ryan β€˜Harry’ Sargeant, who was gunned down outside the Rio nightclub, was laid to rest yesterday at Le Repentir Cemetery amidst a large gathering of mourners, some of whom discharged rapid gunshots in the air, bidding him farewell.Hundreds of people, some arriving in cars and on motorcycles, created a huge build-up of vehicular traffic; and although armed police ranks were strategically placed at the burial site, mourners, who outnumbered the lawmen, managed to discharge many shots in the air. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The large gathering, which consisted of relatives, friends and others, was accompanied by music of the likes of Alkaline, while many openly indulged in various alcoholic beverages. The scene resembled that of a β€˜party’, while loud cries could be heard in Le Repentir Cemetery; and it was hours before the crowd dispersed and the police left the area.

Following the shooting which claimed the life of the teenager and injured another man on September 26, six persons were taken into custody, but they were all subsequently released.
Sleuths managed to identify the shooters from video footage obtained from Rio and surrounding businesses.

Sargeant, of Lot 25 Layou Street, North Ruimveldt Georgetown, was reportedly shot to the head in that fracas. Reports indicated that a girlfriend of a suspect and another female had a verbal exchange which quickly escalated into a fist fight inside the nightclub. However, the group was asked to β€œtake it outside” when their male partners intervened, and soon a group of men had an exchange of words and shots were fired.

ALMOST two weeks after a bandit grabbed a gold chain and shot Gregory Anthony Garraway to the chest, the young man succumbed to his injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Tuesday.

Relatives are calling on the authorities to quickly find the killer. Reports reveal that the 25-year-old Charlestown resident who worked at a popular supermarket was attacked in the wee hours of October 1, 2016 when he left the Dynasty Sports Club, South Ruimveldt heading towards Mandela Avenue to make a purchase from a fast food outlet.

The bandit made good his escape and Garraway was transported to the Balwant Singh Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where he succumbed while on a life support machine.

β€œI’m hurt, I’m lost, I’m so angry a part of me is missing now I will miss you dearly I know I won’t be able to call you or yell at you or even represent you anymore but you will forever live in my heart I will always love you and I will look over our other siblings it’s hard so hard bye my loving brother”, his sister Tiffany Garraway stated in a social media post.

THE police have recorded a 21% decrease in serious crimes at the end of September when compared to the same period last year. In a statement,the police said there was a 9% reduction in reports of murder; a 5% decrease in gun-related robberies; a 17% decrease in armed robberies in which other instruments were used; a 15% decrease in robberies where no instruments were used; a 25% decrease in Robberies With Violence; a 4% decrease in Robberies With Aggravation; a 33% decrease in Larceny from the Person; a 19% decrease in Rapes; a 13% decrease in Burglaries and a 21% decrease in Break and Enter and Larceny.
Additionally, 67 illegal firearms were seized, which include 29 pistols, 21 revolvers, and 17 shotguns. The police said the consistent and continuous reduction in all of the above listed serious crimes, is an indication that the strategies are working well, have yielded and will continue to yield positive results, thereby assuring all citizens that their collaborative effort in partnering with law enforcement is vital.
According to the police exposure to training, both locally and internationally, continues to be a priority at all levels of the force. From January to September of this year, 97 officers and other ranks benefited from overseas training in all aspects of policing as previously stated, but now includes a) Training to combat human trafficking for Judicial Authorities b) Victim identification, referral and assistance and c) Public Corruption and Ethics.
The force said the Cops and Faith Community Network continues to be of significant assistance to the force in its mandate as was alluded to in its August month release. In terms of Juvenile Offenders, they have now dealt with 389 males and 134 females, who have been spared the indignity of the Criminal Justice System, due to their intervention between the complainants/reporters, victims and the police.
Increased road fatalities
Meanwhile, the force said as regards traffic management, there has been an increase in road fatalities, with 100 deaths recorded at the end of September, which is 10 more than for the same period last year. It must be noted however, that had it not been for the operationalising of β€œOperation Safeway” in Mid-September, that number would have likely been higher. There was a reduction in serious and minor accidents by 12.2% and 9% respectively. Traffic enforcement is continuous countrywide, the police said with β€œOperation Safeway” already creating an impact on the operators of all classes of vehicles. Special emphasis is placed on speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol and the other areas of concern, in order to reduce the carnage on our roads.
