Dear Editor,
I have taken note of your front page report earlier this week in which an internet café in Castello Housing Scheme was robbed by two young bandits. I have also noted with interest that the surveillance video recording of the robbery in progress has been posted on YouTube and that Kaieteur News is encouraging viewers to help identify the culprits.
However, I am aghast that save for Kaieteur News, very few of the media houses, including the electronic media have picked up on this story. Media houses have the responsibility of educating and informing the public at large. In this day and age where the internet has changed the landscape of news gathering, where at a flash breaking news can be distributed on cell phones, there can be no excuses.
It is a known fact that law enforcement efforts can only work effectively if there are mechanisms in place where the public are part of the process. We have to also be the eyes and ears of the communities in which we live and work in.
Many police cases are solved with tips from concerned citizens. Here we have a video of the bandits available. Surely the possibilities that someone would have recognized them would have been greatly improved with the airing of the video.
As citizens of this country, we all have a responsibility of fighting crime.
