–    Robbery suspect in stable condition

While robbery suspect, Lloyd Johnson remains in  stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), police have stated in a release yesterday, that investigations are continuing into the alleged larceny of two motor vehicles from Selena Auto Sales at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
According to the release “about 19:30hrs last Tuesday night, the police went to conduct a search  a house at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, in relation to the allegations of theft.
“Lloyd Johnson called “Belly” and five other men were gathered at the house. Upon seeing the police, Lloyd Johnson opened fire on the ranks in a bid to escape. The police returned fire and Johnson was struck to his abdomen and left thigh. A .32 revolver with 3 rounds and a spent shell were recovered at the scene. During the ordeal, one man managed to escape. Four men were subsequently taken into custody.”
Johnson was charged in connection with a $17.2 M payroll heist from GuySuCo. He was also charged, along with three others, for the December 2005 Fort Island, Essequibo River armed robberies when over $10 million of booty was carted off.
Last Tuesday, relatives of the injured man reported that he was on his way to his brother’s residence at Liliendaal, when he was shot. However police reports revealed that four complete car doors and a rear bumper were recovered at the scene of the crime.
According to the police, further inquires led to the search of a house at North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, where the body of one of the stolen motor vehicles and a number of parts that had been stripped off, were found. Another man was later arrested.
While Johnson remains under guard at GPHC, his alleged accomplices are in police custody assisting with the investigations.
