Teens steal army officer’s car, nabbed after driving into ditch

Apr 06, 2013 News

 

Three teenage boys are in custody after being caught red-handed with an army officer’s car that they had stolen on Thursday.
The youths, reportedly aged 14, 15 and 17, were nabbed at around noon yesterday in Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, while seeking help to have the stolen Toyota Sprinter pulled from a ditch.
Two of the youths, who reportedly had previous brushes with the law, are said to be from D’Urban Street. The third is from Nandy Park.
Kaieteur News understands that the army officer had parked his car in Camp Street on Thursday night,  while visiting an ATM, when the lads entered the vehicle and drove off with it. It is believed that the youths went on a lengthy joyride before parking the vehicle in Republic Park.
Yesterday, the trio retrieved the car and were about to drive off when they reportedly spotted a police patrol. At that stage, the lad who was at the wheel panicked and reversed into a ditch. It is alleged that the youths exited the car and after walking some distance away, brazenly asked another driver to assist them in hauling the stolen vehicle out of the ditch.
The driver reportedly left the scene and returned with a rope to haul the stuck vehicle. At around the same time, police ranks also turned up at the scene and arrested two of the teens, while the third escaped.
However, he was nabbed in Nandy Park by the same driver who had come to the teens’ aid. The man, with assistance from ranks of a security firm, took the boys to the Ruimveldt Police Station.
They are currently in custody at the Providence Police Station.
