…nab notorious criminal ‘Bara’

Police in Berbice ‘B’ Division continues to make inroads in the criminal gangs in Berbice after nabbing another notorious criminal.
Davendra Harricharran called ‘Bara’ of Nigg Settlement, Corentyne, Berbice, who was a member of the notorious ‘Pop Corn’ gang and was wanted in the recent $10M robbery which occurred on Wednesday at Rose Hall, Corentyne, has been captured.
Two unmasked armed bandits on a motorcycle that bore no registration number had held up and robbed Corentyne businessman Ramlingum Mangalie, called Buddy, of $10M in cash that day. He was about to deposit the money into the Republic Bank Rose Hall branch.
Ramlingum, his brother Subramanie Mangalie and Father Mangalie Permaul, own and operate the Permaul’s Snackette, Trading and Distribution Store at Lot 30 B Albion Road, Corentyne.
Ramlingum was in his minivan PPP1632 and had just pulled up in front of the bank to deposit the money when he was accosted by the two bandits on a motorcycle.
The pillion rider dismounted and discharged a round in the air and grabbed the bag. He then grabbed another bag that contained $7M which belonged to Subramanie. The man put up a fight but released the bag after the bandit discharged a round. The thief then remounted the motorcycle and he and his companion fled.
Mangalie gave chase after the men as they meandered through the street before heading through a burial ground into the backlands discharging rounds in the interim with Mangalie in hot pursuit. However, due to the state of the street the man gave up.
The matter was reported and the police responded. They proceeded on foot into the backlands but the men had long since disappeared.   The motorcycle was found abandoned in the backlands.
On Friday the police got a breakthrough when they got a tip that one of the bandits was hiding out at Number Seven Village, Berbice. Acting on information, the police surprised the bandit at his hide out. The notorious ‘Bara’ surrendered without a fight.
The man is the alleged owner of the bike. He has since been positively identified as one of the bandits that carried out the barefaced daytime robbery.
The police recently came in for high praise from members of the Berbice community for denting the criminal enterprise. A number of known bandits are behind bars and the police are calling on the remaining criminals to put their guns down and to make a positive contribution to the society.
