Significant losses as thieves strike at two Berbice homes

Dec 18, 2013 News

 
The police are investigating the circumstances under which burglars broke and entered the Reliance, East Canje home of the Manager of Hand-in-Hand Insurance Company New Amsterdam Branch, Tajepaul   Ajodhya on Monday, and stole a number of articles, worth thousands of dollars.
According to reports, no one was at home at the time of the incident. The manager discovered his home had been broken into when he returned there around 14:00 hrs for lunch. As he neared his residence he noticed the front door had been prized open, and upon entering the house, he noticed it was ransacked. Some of the missing items include a camera, an electronic gaming device, jewellery and cash among other items.
No one has been arrested as investigations continue.
And bandits used the cover of heavy rain on Monday to break into the home of a Bush Lot, West Berbice farmer, and attack and rob the man and his family of an undisclosed sum of cash and jewellery.
The incident occurred between 01:30 and 02:00 hrs.
According to reports, four masked men – two armed with handguns – entered the home and held the occupants at gunpoint before relieving them of the aforementioned items.
According to residents, the bandits reportedly used a hacksaw to cut open the grilled front door before gaining entry to the house. They broke another door in the inner section of the premises before holding up the farmer.  He was held at gunpoint and commanded to hand over all that he had. The man begged the culprits not to do them any harm before handing over cash and jewellery. No violence was used as the thieves got what they wanted and fled.
Police are investigating.
