Gun-toting bandits flee after a beating in Linden house
Three gun toting bandits picked the wrong house, and walked away with nothing to show for their efforts except for lacerations about their bodies.
The men got the shock of their lives after their intended targets administered a sound thrashing on them and booted them out of the lot 793 Determa Street house in Linden.
An eyewitness to the botched attack said that he along with other relatives were hanging out with his brother and his son who recently returned to Guyana on holiday from overseas, early Friday morning.
“We see a car pass up the street, then it turn back and these guys just barge in the house, because we had the doors open. But they get the shock of dey life, because we resisted. We fight with them and me nephew, he was like a bulldozer, he kicked two ah dem down the steps, and the other one, he run fuh he life,” the man related.
“I believe they were targeting my brother Clifton, because he wears a lot of jewelry. All three of them had guns, but they didn’t even get to use them. Is either they get confused or stupid or something after we retaliated because one of dem order we to lie down on the floor, but nobody ain’t lie down, is only a friend that been with we, he lie down, but the rest of we start fighting with them.”
The man’s nephew Dwayne Soo received a cracked head and injuries to his left leg. His blood soaked clothing told the tale of the gory battle that he had engaged in.
Police response was once again poor.
According to the occupants of the house, the police took almost an hour to arrive on the scene, even though the Police station is a stone’s throw away.
They also complained that after the ranks arrived, they did not exit their vehicle, but sat for several minutes, speaking on their mobile phones.
The victims eventually had to go out to the police to report the matter.
This is the second time that the table was turned on bandits while attacking households in linden.
A few months ago a teenager wrestled a gun from a bandit who had invaded his home.
The young man was later rewarded by the police after he had turned the seized shotgun over to them.
