Fishermen fake pirate attack, steal lighting plant and engine

Nov 29, 2013 News

 

Like the boy who cried ‘wolf’, three fishermen are accused of crying ‘pirates’, while staging a robbery on their own vessel.
According to a police release, the caper began last Saturday, when a captain and two members of a fishing crew told ranks at the Charity Police Station that three armed men had attacked and robbed them on Friday November 22, near the mouth of the Pomeroon River.
According to the ‘victims,’ three men, armed with a handgun and two cutlasses, had approached their boat in another vessel. They claimed that the ‘pirates’ held them up and relieved them of a lighting plant and their 40 horsepower outboard engine before escaping.
“However, investigations by the police revealed that the report was false and that the crew members had hidden the articles with the intention of selling them and had reported the robbery to cover their actions,” the police release stated.
“The outboard engine was recovered today (Thursday November 28, 2013), among some bushes in the vicinity of the mouth of the Pomeroon River.”
Police said that so far, one of the men has been arrested.
