Two others arrested

Oct 24, 2009 News

As police continue their probe into the robbery on Bartica businessman, Neezam Kassim, they have arrested two others whom they believe were involved in the robbery.
Reports are that the two men were arrested some time on Thursday after police received information about their whereabouts.
Already two men, Avenash Rampertab and Fidel Collins, who are both taxi drivers, have been charged for the robbery.
The two have since appeared at the Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate’s Court and were remanded. They are expected to make their next court appearance on November 12 at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court.
Last week Wednesday, Kassim was transporting the money to the city with his driver Rampertab. They were both stopped at Rampertab’s home for some coffee.
Just as Rampertab went into the house to get the coffee for Kassim who was left in the car, a white car with four men stopped, stuck Kassim up and took away the money before making good their escape.
The car was later found abandoned in Stewartville while Collins was found lurking in the area.
When questioned by the police, Collins said that the abandoned car belongs to him but that he was hijacked by gunmen and that he was trying to find his aunt to relate the matter for advice.
Both men were arrested since their stories didn’t add up.
Some time last year Kassim was attacked and robbed while using the same Rampertab to transport money to the city.
