America Street heist…Two men released, one more detained

Jun 16, 2012 News

Police have released two men who were arrested in connection with Monday’s America Street robbery, but have now detained a third suspect in connection with the same heist.
A senior police official said that Damion Allicock, called ‘Buck’ and another individual, Kurt Kendall, were released on Thursday, after the money-changer who was robbed, stated that he was uncertain if they were the same persons who attacked him.
However, investigators yesterday detained a third man who police said slain bandit Odel Chase had identified as one of his accomplices.
Meanwhile, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud told Kaieteur News that he was unaware of the arrest of a 25-year-old woman in connection with the investigation. According to Persaud, investigations into the America Street robbery were continuing,
Kaieteur News was told that a woman, who resides in Albouystown, was taken into custody on Tuesday after one of the two men police had detained alleged that she was involved in the killing of a member of his gang.
Police sources said that the suspect had also implicated her in the killing of 25-year-old taxi driver Renee Williams, who was slain outside his Lot 138 King Edward Street, Albouystown, on April 30.
Williams, a former policeman, was shot twice in the back by a lone gunman clad in black, as he sat in his car with his wife.
The woman was detained at the East La Penitence Police Station but was reportedly removed on Thursday night by CID ranks.
A source said that the woman has denied any involvement in the two killings and refused to provide police with a written statement.
Kaieteur News was unable to ascertain whether she is still in custody.
On Monday, 22-year-old Odel Chase was shot dead during a confrontation with police ranks in Sussex Street.
It is believed that Chase, along with three other accomplices, escaped with $2M around 20:00 hrs on Monday after holding an America Street moneychanger at gunpoint.   They reportedly then escaped in a car before being tracked down to Sussex Street.
Before passing away, Chase identified his accomplices as ‘Omar’, ‘Cow’, and ‘Buck.’
The ranks also recovered a stolen white AT192 Toyota which the gang had used in their getaway. However, the stolen cash has not been recovered.
