Staged Crabwood Creek robbery…Businessman, two others for court today

Sep 11, 2015 News

Already embarrassed by the exposure of his fake robbery scheme, businessman Krishendatt Jettoo is heading to court today.
He is being slapped with two charges; he is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, and robbery under arms.
Two other men who were a part of Jettoo’s scheme, will also be charged with robbery under arms.
According to a police source, even though the robbery was staged, items were removed from the house, hence the robbery under arms charge.
On Tuesday last, police, employing all their intelligence methods, found out that Jettoo hired bandits to beat him and his wife in a fake attack to influence his wife to stay in their unraveling relationship.
It was the latest in a series of fake robberies to be used by critics to lambaste the Guyana Police Force and by extension, the ruling administration for spiraling serious crimes.
Jettoo had told police that five armed men invaded his house and carted off an undisclosed sum of money and jewelry.
He had given carefully concocted details of how the men entered his home around 2:30 hours on Sunday and threatened to kill him, while beating him and his wife about their bodies.

The businessman’s wife was badly beaten during the staged robbery.

The businessman had claimed that they were tied up by the bandits who escaped in a white Toyota Carina 212 motor car.
But when police managed to locate the driver of the getaway car, the whole scheme unraveled.
The driver told investigators that Jettoo contacted him on Friday last with the smart idea; the businessman wanted him to break into his house and terrorise his wife.
But the driver declined the offer and instead offered to get “real bad men” to carry out the act.
He made contact with one of the “bad men”, “Duttie” from Rose Hall, who in turn contacted his associates.
Together they met with Jettoo on Saturday. Jettoo told them what he wanted and gave them a plan of his house, detailing where the surveillance cameras were so that they could avoid them.
Kaieteur News understands that when the men entered the house, they first confronted Jettoo and inflicted a sound thrashing on him.
The plan appeared to be working well as Jettoo’s wife heard the commotion and went to investigate.
The ‘bandits’ immediately set upon her and dealt her a beating also, resulting in her receiving severe injury to her foot. The men did not forget to ransack the house to make it look like a real robbery. They got an undisclosed amount of cash and jewelry.
