North Essequibo wants increased police presence

Sep 12, 2015 News

It is no longer safe for single women to live alone. As such, repeated calls are again been made by those women for the initiation of proper policing and security in Region Two, and in areas especially where women are left alone.
Those comments were made by several women whose homes were vandalized by bandits.
Chandrowatie Lawarie, who lives alone, at Better Hope, on the Nothern Half of the Essequibo Coast, was the recent victim. Lawarie, who insists that she has no other place of abode other than her Better Hope home related how she was viciously attacked recently, by an unknown male bandit who was armed with a huge knife.
The widow said that she was physically and verbally abused by a man who broke into her house and carted off jewelry, cash and other valuable items.
Mrs. Lawarie said that she was asleep when the incident occurred and awoke after she heard consistent barks coming from her dogs and those of her neighbour, who live several rods away.  The 64-year-old said that about 2:30AM, Wednesday, a man broke into her house by removing several louver panes from a back window. Mrs. Lawarie stressed that the man approached her and instructed her not to “holler” and demanded cash. The bandit in the end carted away $26,803 in cash, a quantity of Jewellery and a cell phone belonging to the woman.
And an entertainer lost hundreds of dollars in equipment stolen from his rented home recently while he was out of the Region.
And further, in Henrietta Village, a man who was sound asleep almost had his house burglarized. An alert neighbour who saw the man looking into the man’s house from outside raised an alarm, and sent the would-be burglar scampering away.
