Burglars hit internet store
The manager of the Links Store opened up his business yesterday morning and almost collapsed when he discovered that five computers and monitors had vanished, apparently the night before.
He estimated his losses at some $1.5M.
Yesterday, the manager, Mikhail Rodrigues, was in shock and disbelief at his discovery.
The Links Store, situated at 179 Mandela Avenue, Alexander Village, Georgetown, offers internet and other related services to the public.
Rodrigues said that when he arrived at the store at around 08:30 hrs yesterday, he noticed that the metal frame of the glass door had been pried apart and the locks missing.
He said he could not believe his eyes when he realized that all the flat screen computers and monitors were also missing.
Luckily, he retrieved his digital camera which, because it was beneath a counter in the store, had apparently missed the eyes of the intruders.
Yesterday, the manager lamented the fact that his business has been in existence for only six months now and that he is by no means in a financial position to ‘get back on his feet again’.
He added that several months ago a similar business he managed on Regent Street was hit by bandits, causing him to suffer some $3M in losses.
