Presidential Guards nab chain snatcher
Lloyd Ramnarine, 33, of 37 Friendship East Bank Demerara is thankful for the alertness of the Presidential Guards and public spirited citizens who assisted him in apprehending a man who snatched his chain.
At around 16:30hrs yesterday, some Presidential Guards apprehended the man whose address was given as 47 D’Urban Street, Lodge, after he snatched a gold chain from Ramnarine.
The chain snatcher in custody.
Recalling the incident, Ramnarine, who is a Karate instructor, told Kaieteur News, “I jump in a bus from the park to go to the gardens with some students. When I come out the bus, three guys come up to me …one take me chain and tell the other two ‘shoot him’”.
He added that the teen who snatched his chain began running away and he then realised that his attackers did not have a gun that they had wanted him to believe.
“A bus driver come up and ask me what happen and we follow the one with the chain. He run on Hadfield Street. I alert the nearby citizens and then I see Presidential Guards come and catch him,” Ramnarine stated.
According to one of the karate students, the three guys were in the bus with them and they were acting suspiciously throughout the journey.
One of the Presidential Guards claimed, “We saw the commotion and we decided to intervene. When we realise what the matter was we chased him all the way to Hadfield Street. We caught him and brought him back to the gardens where we contacted the police.”
The police later detained Daniels and took him to the Brickdam Police Station. The gold chain was still in his possession when he was caught and it was handed over to the police.
Ramnarine subsequently identified the chain as his.
