Bandits crash getaway car after robbing walking victim of Nike boots


He came all the way from Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway to visit his kid’s mom at Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara. But the 20-year-old labourer never catered for being robbed of his expensive Nike Air-Max shoes.

That is exactly what happened Wednesday night to the victim, who was abducted, robbed and then pushed out of a car.

The police lauded the efforts of the CPG members.

“The Guyana Police Force wishes to recognise the swift and professional approach by the members of the Community Police Group, in apprehending and handing over the suspect and vehicle to the police.”

Perhaps, the Community Police Group is far more efficient than members of the Guyana Police Force.

Bandits crash getaway car after robbing walking victim of Nike boots


 

He came all the way from Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway to visit his kid’s mom at Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara. But the 20-year-old labourer never catered for being robbed of his expensive Nike Air-Max shoes.
That is exactly what happened Wednesday night to the victim, who was abducted, robbed and then pushed out of a car.
According to police, around 21:15hrs, the victim was proceeding south along the Mon Repos School Road, when he was pounced upon by the driver of a motor car, PRR 1787, who placed a knife to his neck.
The man was forced into the back seat of the car where two male suspects relieved him of his footwear, silver jewellery, mobile phone and other items.
Police said that the robbers then pushed the man out of the vehicle which sped away.
It was reported that while the bandits were making their escape, their vehicle came into contact with another vehicle causing minor damage. However, the robbers failed to stop.
The owner of the damaged vehicle summoned a Community Policing Group (CPG) patrol which responded promptly and intercepted the car and its driver in a nearby village, minus the two accomplices.
According to police, the driver was arrested and escorted to the Beterverwagting Police Station along with his vehicle by the CPG members.
The robbery victim who was there to make a report, positively identified the driver and the vehicle as being the one used in the crime.
Police said that a search of the vehicle unearthed a knife fitting the description of the one used to rob the victim.
The 21-year-old suspect, who resides at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo and Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, is said to be cooperating with investigators.
The police lauded the efforts of the CPG members.
“The Guyana Police Force wishes to recognise the swift and professional approach by the members of the Community Police Group, in apprehending and handing over the suspect and vehicle to the police.”

Good work by the CPG. Now if the GPF can do the same.

Powers to arrest and hold the individuals until the police arrive.

It appears from reports that CPGs are volunteers with an interest in this matter. Unsure of the level of training they do receive.

Well, if the GPF is spread too thinly maybe these people should be given some sort of training and at the very least some kind of protection like bulletproof vests and maybe nonlethal weapons like tasers and teargas.

This is a great day for Guyana when all I have to report is baby formula shop lifting.  On the other hand it demonstrates how desperate the common person has become under jackass Granger's hard guava season when they have to resort to stealing baby formula.

The female Chinese proprietor after she was sprayed with mace by one of the three alleged shoplifters

ONE of two alleged serial shoplifters is in police custody, while the other is being pursued following an incident at GST #3 Supermarket, located at Annandale Market Road, East Coast Demerara, on Thursday night.

The business, formerly Pepsi Supermarket is managed by a Chinese couple who was able to fight off the shoplifters, who fled and left behind the motorcar they arrived in on Thursday night.
Commander of ‘C’ Division Calvin Brutus told the Guyana Chronicle that they are trying to ascertain in whose name the car PTT 8249, a brown Premio is registered to and as such it is lodged with the police.

However, the Guyana Chronicle understands that the car is registered to one Joycelyn Laurie of Laing Avenue, Georgetown. Brutus also confirmed that one of the three alleged thieves is in custody and efforts are being made to apprehend the others, including a woman.

The motorcar PTT 8249, which was abandoned by the three alleged shoplifters at Annandale Public Road on Thursday night

Brutus related that the alleged shoplifter in custody has been identified as Robert Beckles of 45 Victory Valley, Linden, who is out on bail for robbery under arms, simple larceny and carjacking. He reportedly got out of jail a month ago and is known to police in ‘E’ Division and its environs.

The Commander stated that he was picked up by the police patrol at about 20:50hrs on Thursday night, while he was walking aimlessly in Annandale. He reportedly told cops he was heading to Eastville, the neighbouring village and a search of his person unearthed the keys to the motorcar, which they abandoned on the Annandale Public Road.

Beckles claimed he and the others rented the car from a dealer in the city and he had the keys stashed in his boots. Brutus told the Guyana Chronicle that police carried out a search of the car and found other items in it, which include gold-plated watches, sunglasses and a ladies handbag containing baby milk products and a high-end phonics game.

At about 18:15hrs several customers were inside the supermarket shopping when a woman and two men entered and they proceeded to browse through the aisles. It was when a tin of baby milk (Enfagrow) fell out from under the woman’s dress in the supermarket the Chinese proprietor became suspicious and went into his office to review the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and saw what they were about.

The bag which was snatched by the Chinese proprietor

The Chinese man alerted his wife and he confronted the group, after which a scuffle ensued in which he put up a good fight with one of the men. After the shoplifter sprayed mace into the face of the Chinese national and his wife they ran out of the supermarket, but not before he grabbed a bag which contained two jars of marmite.

The Chinese proprietor did not give up and pursued the shoplifters with a piece of wood and was about to throw it on them when they were nearing the getaway the car which was parked nearby causing them to ran off in different directions. By then shoppers became aware of the incident and they too tried to pursue the group, who fled on foot leaving behind the getaway car after which the police was summoned. Ranks fanned out via the patrol vehicles and combed the area and observed a man walking in the village and he was questioned and arrested after a search of his person unearthed the keys to the getaway car he abandoned.

‘Spiritualist’ arrested after PM reveals 8-yr-old was strangled

A woman who locks herself in a dilapidated house and prays all day, is the prime suspect in the

Dead: Isaiah Smartt

death of eight-year-old Isaiah Smartt, whose body was pulled from a shallow drain on Tuesday night at ‘E’ Field, Sophia.
A post mortem performed on the lad’s body yesterday revealed that he died from asphyxiation due to Bronchoaspiration and compounded by compression injuries to the neck.
The child’s relatives are convinced that it was a sacrificial murder and as such, investigators have arrested a spiritualist in whose yard the body was found.
The woman was arrested late yesterday and taken to the Alberttown Police Station where she gave a statement and was subsequently taken into custody.
The boy’s body was found in the drain that is about two-feet deep, one day after he went missing
What is strange is that the spiritualist claimed that she did not see the body although the discovery was made right next to her back door—at the side of her house.
What is even more suspicious is the fact that the woman has to walk right at the side of the house to go to the bathroom and to her mother’s home where she sleeps.
There are three houses in the yard—the spiritualist’s family lives in the front house, the middle and back houses are abandoned.
It is in the back house that the woman reportedly carries out her sacrificial acts. While the yard is used by some residents as a short cut to get to the other street, some persons are scared to walk there.
“The house is empty. It only has an altar shelf and she is in there all day praying. She locks herself in and lights candle and pray,” the lad’s mother, Joycelyn Pickett, said during an interview yesterday, while adding that the moment she spotted her son’s body in the drain, she suspected something was fishy.
“My son can’t drown in 12 inches of water,” the woman maintained.

The spot where the lad’s body was discovered.

When this newspaper visited the area yesterday, a young man said that when the discovery was made, almost everyone knew he was killed and his body was placed there.
“He had blood coming from his eyes and it looked like someone lifted him and put him in the drain. That lil boy does be swimming in the trench, so he cannot die in a drain with water that didn’t reach my knee,” the young man noted.
He said that the little boy walked through the yard a lot to get to the other street where he would usually swim and pick mangoes. “His family dem didn’t had time with this lil boy. Some nights, he alone dey does lef in that house and you does see he walking the streets all day.”
Meanwhile, recalling what transpired, Pickett noted that the lad left home with his sister on Monday.
A relative saw him cutting callaloo with a cutlass in his sister’s backyard while dressed in a raincoat and long boots. He was using his little sister’s umbrella.
After cutting the callaloo, he was seen walking through the woman’s yard—this was the last time he was seen alive.
Pickett said when her son did not return home, she thought that he was at his father’s home, since the man lives in the same neighbourhood.
”His sister thought that he was mad at me, and I thought he was at his father. On Tuesday afternoon, my great nephew went to fill water in the neighbour yard when he saw the umbrella. He picked it up and he saw the coat floating,” Pickett said.
Upon further examination, they discovered that it was the child’s remains. Pickett said that her great nephew took a stick and tried to pull him out.
According to the child’s mother, she was told that when her great nephew took the stick to pull the rain coat, the spiritualist started shouting on him and even when her daughter started crying, the woman asked them why they were crying.
Investigations are ongoing.

A SCHOOL teacher was, on Tuesday morning, awakened, threatened and robbed of about one million dollars by two armed bandits just after 02:015hrs at her Lot 39 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam home, Berbice.
Divisional Commander Assistant Commissioner Ian Amsterdam, told reporters that the teacher, Melissa Ramdhan, was awakened by the intruders who were armed with knives and cutlasses. The bandits, who are of mixed race and of African descent respectively, carted off gold jewellery, a laptop computer, a wristwatch, a shoulder bag and cash.

The Guyana Chronicle was told that the bandits, after attacking the teacher, gagged her mouth and tied her hands to the bed frame before raising the volume of the television, prior to demanding the valuables.
At the time of incident, the teacher was occupying the lower flat of the two-storey building. After entering the home, the bandits demanded the valuables from Ramdhan then sprayed the woman with an irritant resulting in her becoming unconscious.

After regaining consciousness, the men reportedly untied her before forcing her to the upper flat where her relatives lived.
Sanjeev Rambaran, the woman’s nephew, told reporters that he was awakened following a loud banging at their door, and upon looking through the window, observed that his uncle Khrishna Sukhoo had sustained a wound to his head. “He said somebody lashed [him] across his head with a cutlass. I called out to neighbours, but no one responded. I then call for the police who came 30 minutes later,” he said.

Meanwhile, neighbours revealed that fear fell over them after being awakened by the noise. “ ’This time nah lang time.’ We can’t take any chances with bandits today. The incident was unfortunate, but we too have families to protect,” says a resident who has been living in the area for over 40 years .

Investigations are continuing.
