Cop among five held with stolen parts

Apr 28, 2010 News

A policeman is among five men arrested as police investigate an armed robbery which occurred at Edinburgh, West Coast Demerara, on Monday.
Police in a statement said that diligent investigative work led to the quick recovery of some mechanical equipment which was stolen during the robbery.
According to the police, during Monday night, acting on a tip-off,  ranks went to Annandale on the East Coast of Demerara where they recovered a hydraulic pump, a starter and a computer box that were taken off an excavator after five men, two of whom were armed with a handgun and a knife, had held up the watchman.
According to reports, the owner of the stolen parts who had accompanied the police to the location, first observed a battery lead that he had personally made.
With this in mind, the police interrogated the occupants of the Annandale house and it was not too long before they confessed to having the stolen parts in their possession.
Following the recovery of the items, which are valued in excess of $6M, the policeman and four other men were arrested and they are assisting with the investigations.
It is believed that the gang is responsible for the theft of several high priced excavator parts in several areas of the country.
Yesterday, a caller from the East Coast of Demerara told this newspaper that the gang had previously made off with a number of expensive excavator parts from machinery that were deployed in that area to carry out works.
The caller also said that the gang is linked to a prominent businessman in the Annandale area.
