Bandits broke and entered a home at 77 West Canefield Settlement, East Canje ,in a daring daylight robbery and ransacked the entire house from top to bottom, leaving behind a messy trail. The intruders even took time to treat themselves to a meal and also urinated all over the living room area.

Indra Singh said that the occupants of the home left for the airport earlier in the day (09:30 hrs) and upon returning home around 16:30 hrs, they discovered several boards from the kitchen area, missing. “They ransacked and tumbled everything. When we came in we saw the door break and the wall board came out and everything was tumbled.”
She stated that the thieves left with over $500,000 in cash and jewelry. Additionally, a portable DVD is missing. The kitchen, living room, and bedrooms were a complete mess as everything was upturned. A report was made to the Reliance Police Station. Singh suspects a few individuals from the area and has reported this to the police.
“Neighbours saw them passing here two or three times and they were looking in this morning. There is a lot of damage in the home…they eat and tumbled everything and urine up and smoke up in the house,” Indra Singh added.
Police turned up yesterday (Monday) and started to take photographs of the ransacked house. No one has been arrested.
