Bag snatcher relieves ‘Fowl Cock’ of currency, documents
…reward offered
Businessman and contractor, Roopan Ramotar, popularly known as ‘Fowl Cock’ became the victim of a snatch-and-grab robbery yesterday at Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara.
The Essequibian had just parked his vehicle at a store in the area when a silver grey vehicle pulled up and a well-dressed man rushed to his vehicle and snatched a bag that contained $1 million in cash, a cheque for $5.8 million, two Demerara Bank cheque books, his passport, his identification card, a bill from Trinidad Cement Limited for 78 slings of cement, and a bill from Gafoors for 25 tons of steel.
Ramotar said that he had travelled to the city to conduct some business. He added that he normally does not travel with cash, but the business transactions led to him having more money in his possession than he would normally have.
He said that he is offering a reward for the return of his passport and his identification card.
