May 30, 2012 News

 

Police in the interior are hunting a five-man gang which held up the employees of an Issano mining camp and robbed them of a quantity of raw gold, an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), cash, a radio set, a firearm and a quantity of ammunition.
The robbery took place around 18:30 hours on Sunday at 23 Miles, Issano.
According to the police, the owner of the dredge and five employees were at the camp when they were attacked by five men, three of whom were armed with shotguns and the others with cutlasses.
The suspects discharged several rounds in the process, while the owner of the mining operation hid himself.
Kaieteur News understands that the men were tied up by the bandits who proceeded to rob them of the articles before making good their escape.
Meanwhile, the police are investigating the circumstances which led to the death of Clifton Thomas, 36, a labourer of Baramita Settlement, Mazaruni, whose partly decomposed body was found floating in the Konawaruk River, Potaro about 10:00 hours yesterday.
Thomas was last seen alive on Sunday, drinking on the landing.
The police said that due to the advanced state of decomposition, the body was buried.  Investigations are continuing.
