Sep 23, 2014 News

A Berbice police patrol was able to nab a car with three questionable characters on the Crabwood Creek Public Road.
According to reports, a mobile police unit was on patrol in the Crabwood Creek around 01:00 hrs on September 16, last, when they noticed a car, HB 9873, with three persons inside.
The men Annand Jaget 27, of 126 Williamsburg Corentyne; Junior Moore 32 of 473, Rose Hall Town, Corentyne; and Avzal Rojan, 32, of Bush Lot, appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs- Marcus in the New Amsterdam Magistrate Court, charged with being in possession of house breaking implements.
The police had become suspicious and challenged the occupants, who were all unquestionable characters and were not from the area. The men could give no plausible reason why they were in the area which was some 30 miles from their homes.
The car was searched and a steel cutter was found inside. The men could also give no reason for the cutter being in the car. They were then arrested and taken to the Springlands Police Station.
According to Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter, at the time of the arrest Jaget was the driver. Rojan told the court that he trains horses and he had asked the driver for a lift home.
Moore, who is well known to the authorities and walks with a limp, told the court that he is a fisherman. He was injured during a robbery in Canje back in 2008 when he shot himself in the leg. He had manage to escape, but was found in a car some weeks later with his legs badly injured.
They were placed on $20,000 bail each. The matter has been transferred to the Springlands Magistrates Court for Thursday 25th September..
