Television station owner traces stolen car to Alberttown

Jul 20, 2009 News

Manager of HGPTV Channel 16, Nyal Fraser, found himself in the unfamiliar role of amateur detective yesterday, when he tracked down a group of car thieves who made off with his vehicle.

With persistence and a touch of good fortune, Fraser managed to locate his white Toyota Carina in Alberttown.

One suspect has since been arrested.

Fraser told Kaieteur News that he had parked the car outside his Republic Drive, Beterverwagting residence sometime after 22:00 hrs on Saturday night.

He fell asleep and when he checked for his vehicle shortly after midnight the car was gone.

The businessman said he notified the police and then began to search for his stolen car.

The search took him as far as Parfit Harmonie, East Bank Essequibo, since he had received information that car thieves operated in this area.

However, he found no trace of his vehicle.

Undeterred, Fraser continued his search and his persistence paid off when a friend informed him that he had seen a vehicle like his being driven into a yard in Sixth Street, Alberttown.

Fraser said he went to the location and spotted his vehicle, with false number plates, in the yard.

The businessman said he blocked the driveway with the vehicle he was using at the time and then contacted the police.

Fraser said that when the police arrived, a man who was in the house fled the scene, but the police arrested another man who had allegedly assisted the thieves in parking the car.

The man denied being involved in the theft but admitted to knowing the culprits.

Fraser, who was loud in his praise of the police ranks, said the suspect claimed that he was passing when he observed that his friends were having difficulty reversing the car into the yard and assisted them in having it parked.

He is being detained at the Beterverwagting Police Station.
