Designer says Banks DIH costumes almost complete

Feb 21, 2011 News

Despite being shot at and robbed on Friday night, local designer Trevor Rose says his Mash Band costumes are almost complete and he expects them to be ready by tomorrow evening.
The designer was relieved of $2.5 M on Friday night after two gunmen raided Banks DIH Mash Camp at Burnham court.
Mr. Rose told Kaieteur News yesterday that the money was for procurement purposes and he was scheduled to travel to Trinidad to buy costume materials Saturday. Nevertheless, he boarded the flight as planned and being the popular designer and frequent clothing materials consumer he is, negotiations were made with the supplier but he will have to garner his own funds to meet the material costs.
This is the case because there wasn’t any clause in the contractual agreement that stated he would be reimbursed if he was robbed.
Nevertheless, he said, “I am glad to be alive and once I have life, I can always start over”.
Mr. Rose is also contracted by the Guyana Power and Light Incorporation for instilling his ingenuity to their Mash Band Costumes and despite the psychological trauma one may sustain from that encounter, he didn’t take a break from his duties and the costumes are ready, excluding the minor touches
Mr. Rose said that the police are also working hard to nab the assailants, who had escaped in a red car, and recover the cash. He said that police informed him that one man is being questioned as the investigations continue.
