Quick police action averts robbery, one in custody

Apr 27, 2014 News

Swift action by ranks at the Number 51 Village Police Station thwarted a robbery and  led to the arrest of a 20-year-old man, who along with an accomplice tried to gain entry into a couple’s  home by pretending to be police officers.
Cortez Fraser of New Amsterdam, Berbice is currently in police custody.
According to a police source, at around 21:30 hrs on Friday, Fraser and an accomplice entered the couple’s yard at Number 50 Village and demanded that they open the door to their home.
“They called out for the couple and say they are police officers. When the man put on his light, one of them asked him, ‘how you gon put on your lights on police officers.’”
Suspecting that something was definitely amiss, the man did not open his door. Instead, he called the police station.
“The ranks were on patrol when they got the call and they immediately went to the area and managed to arrest one of them and the other one escaped,” a police source related.
Kaieteur News understands that Fraser related that he and his partner planned the robbery.
“They said they staked out the place. They waited until the neighbours went to bed and then they went in, armed with a cutlass.”
Kaieteur News was told that Fraser has provided ranks with information on other robberies planned by him and accomplices. “We just have to wait and see. He doesn’t want to get into trouble alone so he is screaming out on others,” a source told this newspaper.
