Police timely intervention saves the day

May 06, 2014 News

One man is in custody after he was nabbed by residents and police when he failed in a bid to rob a 72-year-old pensioner.
About 10:00hrs on Saturday, pensioner Mohamed Ali Mursalin called ‘Cha Cha’ of Lot 18A Area K, Albion Front, Corentyne, Berbice had just returned from the Nigg Post Office in his Toyota Premio PPP 6421.
The man drove the car into his yard, left it and went to the garage to open the door when he was confronted by a man armed with a knife.
As the robber tried to rob Mursalin of whatever he had, the elderly man put up a fight but the knife wielding man managed to relieve the pensioner of his car keys.
The commotion attracted the attention of neighbours.  Seeing that the ‘old man’ was more than he bargained for, the bandit abandoned his mission and tried to escape.
The ensuing alarm caused residents to surround the area. The police who were alerted also arrived in quick time. The area was combed and the bandit was nabbed with the knife still in his possession.
He was handed over to the authorities, but not before he was dealt ‘a sound licking’. Residents stated that there were two bandits both of whom are known, but the other managed to escape.
Charges are expected to be laid shortly.
