They have since dusted the businessman’s outlet and recorded statements.
Businessman, Goveenda Harinarine, a/k/a “Ajay”, of Reliance, Essequibo Coast, who operates “Future Electronics” said that Wednesday morning after he had was about to open his store to begin his operations for the day, he was confronted by a sizable hole which the thieves drilled to gain entry.
