The Guyana Chronicle’s Leroy Smith is at the scene and will provide more information as it emerges.” - this was yesterday.
Press Conference.
“According to the Commissioner, the call was made by a man, who resides at the building in the gated community with his wife, two children and a grandchild.”
“ Ramnarine revealed too that “based on police intelligence apparatus, he (St. Hill) was planning to obtain a firearm for that group.”
“Although he could not say exactly how many ranks responded to the call, the Top Cop noted that two patrols – an anti-crime patrol in ‘C’ Division as well as a Criminal Investigations Department (CID) plainclothes patrol – went to the premises located approximately 100 feet away from the MovieTowne construction site.”
At the end of the day, 5 criminals get kill, but it seems the police are contradicting themselves how they got to the crime scene.
Interesting also, why is plain clothes detectives patrolling and responding to a robbery in progress.
Cove and John is far away as oppose to Gtown base to call for back up.
My conclusion, someone tip off the detectives who was staking out the area.
A shop owner report yesterday to suspicious behaviour by one of the criminal on Saturday visiting her shop. May be the shop owner has a connection with a detective.
From my experience in Guyana, police don’t respond to civilian call for help in the wee hours of the morning, especially a robbery in progress.
How did the bandits know a safe was on the second floor ???? Contractor who build the house or the company who install the safe give that info..
