Thieves snatch $140, 000 from West Demerara businessman’s car

Jul 18, 2009 News

– Stumped at treatment by Police

A West Coast Demerara businessman lost $140, 000 when thieves broke into his car, but it was the treatment meted out to him by the Police that has left him even more confused.
Sugbeer Deonarine said he parked his car on North Road in the vicinity of Bourda Market in Georgetown, and proceeded into the market to do some light shopping  about 11:30 hrs.
He said he had locked the car, with the alarm on.
Deonarine said that he returned 20 minutes later to find a scratch near the lock on the door of the car and realised that something was amiss.
When he got into the car, he discovered that the money, which was inside the storage compartment between the seats in front, was missing.
The businessman said that he decided to make a report to the Alberttown Police Station and it was then that the story became bizarre.
Deonarine said the Police rank taking his report suggested to him that he was lying about the incident, since those who steal from cars don’t usually pick locks, but would smash one of the rear windows.
The businessman said he could not believe this and when he insisted he was not making the story up, the policeman took the report, but went off telling him that if he told “any” other police ranks his story they would not believe him since that is not the way cars are usually broken into.
Deonarine said that it was his visit to the Police station, rather than the actually robbery that caused him more shock.
The businessman said he wanted to make the public aware of what happened to him so that they are more careful when engaging in business in the area and as a result not suffer the same fate he did.
