Police chase nabs bandit after Canje robbery

May 27, 2015 News

Police in Berbice on Sunday afternoon responded in a timely manner and were able to capture one of three bandits who had moments earlier robbed the occupants of a grocery shop at Fort Ordnance, East Canje, Berbice.
According to information at around 13:30 hrs the bandits entered the business place of the Sayaranges, whose living quarters are on the upper flat and a grocery shop on the lower flat, and removed an undisclosed sum of money before escaping
The police were informed and responded promptly. While scouring the area the cops spotted some men fitting the description of the bandits. As the cops made advances towards the suspects the men made a run for it with the lawmen in hot pursuit.
The chase was lively, with the bandits leading the cops over trenches, though bushes, swamps and pastures, before one was captured in the vicinity of the Canje Bridge and taken into custody. He is assisting with investigations.
The unmasked men had earlier beaten and robbed Somattie Sayarange and her mother Mahadai Sayarange in a 30-minute ordeal.
According to information, the elder Sayarange was in the shop when two of the men entered the shop under the guise of buying items. One of the men quickly opened the inside door and slipped into the inner part of the shop. There the woman was overpowered and threatened. It was then that the third bandit entered and helped to remove the sales for the day. As the daughter heard the commotion and went to investigate she was also taken captive.
Investigations are continuing as the hunt continues for the two other thieves who are said to be well known.
