Essequibo police nab suspects in Granville robbery

Jun 23, 2012 News

 

 

Two men have been apprehended by police about 100 yards from a recent robbery carried out on former teacher and businessman, Arnold Granville, at his Richmond residence, almost three weeks ago.
The men, Granville reported, were spotted on the sea wall behind his house.
Granville, after observing the men, notified the police who promptly made the arrest. No charges have as yet been imposed against the men.
Granville participated in a formal identification parade and positively identified the men as those who attacked and robbed him.  Police are however maintaining that investigations are continuing.
On May 28, last, Arnold Granville, who operates a hotel at his Lot 22 East Richmond Public Road home, was attacked by two men. One was masked while the other was said to be unmasked.
In the wake of the robbery, Granville said that he was engrossed in viewing a version of the local news when he heard someone calling.
Granville said that a few seconds later, a male presenting himself as a customer, showed up at his door and subsequently made a request for some phone cards.
The former teacher said that before he had fully realized what was about to transpire, another, masked with a small revolver came from behind of one of his pillars.
Granville said that the men proceeded to push him further in his house, where there was a scuffle between him and both of them. “I kept hollering for thief, thief, help, murder,” Granville related.
Granville said during the scuffle, the masked gunman lashed him in his head with the gun.
Granville said that the bandits made good their escape with his gold chain and three finger rings, all amounting to almost$200,000.
The traumatized Granville said he has since received treatment at the Suddie Public Hospital. He added that he needs some form of protection in order to continue his business.
