‘Satan Ambassador’ wanted for Parfaite Harmonie robbery
A wanted bulletin was yesterday issued for Rawle Newton called ‘Satan Ambassador,’ in relation to last Saturday’s armed robbery at a store in Recht-Door-Zee, Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara.
Wanted: Rawle Newton
In a press statement yesterday, the police said that Newton is “wanted by police for questioning in relation to Robbery under Arms which was committed on Charles James on February 15, 2014.”
The 27-year-old man is of mixed race and medium height.
According to police records, the man’s last known addresses were Lot 119 Caesar Street, Agricola, East Bank Demerara, and Lot 35 Princes Street, Lodge, Georgetown.
Kaieteur News was told that on the aforementioned date, at around 20:15hrs, four men stormed Charles and Janice’s Cheap Store where they held the entity’s proprietors and several customers at gunpoint, robbing them of a quantity of cash and cellular phones.
The masked men armed with guns then raided the couple’s living quarters in the upper-flat of the store where they tied up the hands and taped the mouth of Charles James and Janice McLean’s daughter.
James initially told this newspaper that the attack lasted for about 20 minutes, after which the bandits loaded the family’s Toyota Premio motorcar – PSS 1361 – and escaped with a large quantity of items, a majority of which were taken from the store.
Hours after the robbery, police found the empty vehicle in a desolated area at Old Road Crane, West Coast Demerara.
James, who is also the chairman of his community’s policing group told this publication that along with a carload of gents’ clothing, shoes, boots, colognes and female accessories from the store, the bandits were also able to get away with about 15 cell phones belonging to customers as well as three laptops and a DVR belonging to James and his family members.
Apart from the car, the items taken from the store, and what was taken from the customers, James has estimated his family’s losses at $1.5M. He said that although robberies are prevalent in the developing La Parfaite Harmonie Housing Scheme, Saturday night’s attack was the first for him and his family. They have been residents of the area for about four years.
Kaieteur News understands that the majority of security cameras were disarmed, however, bandits failed to notice the hidden one.
The recorded incident led to the arrest of a father of two who was later released on bail. This was followed by yesterday’s wanted bulletin being issued for Rawle Newton.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect is asked to contact the nearest police station or 911.
