$$M stolen from tailor’s house, spare parts store

Aug 19, 2011 News

–    Teen suspect in custody

A trusted assistant of a popular tailor in Riverview Housing Scheme, Unity, East Coast Demerara (ECD) is in police custody after a breakage in the wee hours of the morning yesterday at his employer’s home, that saw the man losing over $1M.
In addition, a motor spares business in Unity also lost millions of dollars in spare parts for vehicles. A teenager has been held in connection with both incidents.
According to the tailor, Chandradat Gurudat, after getting for his daily work at 04:20 hrs yesterday, his wife alerted him that in the lower flat of their two-storey house there were five louvre panes missing from one of the windows.
He explained that there is parallel grillwork on the window, and a slim individual with a small stature could have passed through.
“The boy that the police hold could fit through there with ease, I does treat this boy like a son, I give him anything he wants and look what he do. He hangs out with a group of boys his age and bad influence is the cause of this,” Gurudat opined.
The tailor related that he treated the 18-year-old as his trusted assistant.
“The night before this thing happen he ask me what time I getting up the morning and I tell him the usual time because I got work to do…the police even said his fingerprints match some of the stuff they find.”
Gurudat explained that after discovering his home had been broken into, he proceeded to look around and found that all the jewellery in the house was missing. Further inspections revealed that his digital camera, car keys and other minor items had also been stolen.
He then visited the Mahaica Police Station and made a report and the police visited his home and fingerprints were taken.
Gurudat noted that another burglary had occurred in the village between Wednesday night and early yesterday morning, at a motor spares business.
“Imagine the man who owns the spare parts store found car keys in his store and he later discovered it to be mine after he heard about my place being broken into too.”
Noting that all the items found were then handed over to the police, Gurudat said the youth could not have been working alone and that his cohorts are yet to be apprehended.
