Dec 13, 2010 News

Three men who are accused of robbing some overseas based Guyanese and other relatives last Tuesday at No. 0 Village, Corentyne were remanded by Magistrate Krisendat Persaud when they appeared before him in the Springlands Magistrate court on nine counts of robbery under arms.
The men are Quammy Bhagwandin, 28 of Patrick Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, Roy Mc Andrew, 30, a minibus driver and tractor operator at Skeldon Estate and of Dukestown, Corriverton, and Simon Vanderstoop, 23, of Kiltern, Corentyne.
Prosecutor Sergeant Michael Grant told the court that on the day in question the trio robbed Christopher Shewbarran, his 45-year-old wife, Ahilya, and a cousin Vadawattie Ramloutan, of the United States of America and others of US$6,500, a quantity of gold jewellery, a camera, a laptop computer and other articles.
The thieves, who were armed with a gun and two knives, barged into the house through an open door.
The court was told that police responded quickly and stopped a minibus BHH 776 which was plying the NO63 route and which was heading towards the direction of New Amsterdam at No.43 Village. The three men were in the vehicle. Some of the stolen jewellery, the laptop computer and other documents belonging to Shewbaran were recovered.
Their next court date is fixed for December 29 and the matter has been transferred to the No. 51 Magistrate’s Court.
