These thieves have a strategy

Nov 11, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am frustrated. In 2011 thieves broke into my home and the case is still open. I told the investigating police officer about the person I suspected and he told me that he heard “those persons have gun” so he has to wait on the Tactical Services Unit to back him up before he can go out because it is dangerous for him. Well three weeks later, he finally went to look for “my suspects”.
In addition, I had to use my aunt’s vehicle to drive around the Detective because the police do not have vehicles available.
The only persons who are protected are the President, Prime Minister and Ministers. It is my belief that they fail to realize that the citizens are more valuable because without some of our votes (or stolen votes) they cannot sit in those comfortable seats.
Two months ago I found a pair of slippers at my back step which is not owned me by me or my four year old son. I took that unclaimed slipper to the Beterverwagting Police Station to be dusted for footprints and or fingerprints. Guess what, I am still waiting on the results.
This morning before “bird wife wake”, I was awoken by an unusual sound. I knew something was wrong and I started to panic.
Eventually I took a few deep breaths to calm down not knowing that I will be greeted by a bold face petty thief. These nowadays thieves are acrobats; he climbed the front of my house, which is about 13 feet off the ground.
I am a single parent. I am working part-time and attending the University of Guyana full time. On the last successful afternoon visit by the thieves in my area, they relieved me of my laptop, clothing and money. I can’t afford for them to take a grain of rice from me, much less.
The Ministry of Home Affairs needs to have a copy the electronic existing data available at GECOM and customize a programme so that they can use it as reference to get these criminals away from civilization. Maybe, it is rocket science and I am missing a few pieces.
These thieves have a strategy, on motorcade night last, they had a blast and visited the neighbours behind me.
In addition, sometimes I’ve been receiving disturbing phone calls and I make reports and submitted the phone number to the police. Two years have passed and I’m still waiting to get a response from the Commissioner of Police regarding these malicious phone calls. I really need to protect myself.
How can I protect myself? The police cannot respond to my calls because they do not have a patrol available. It just rain so whatever little evidence that was on the gate and window probably washed away.
