Two armed robbery suspects escape from Providence Station

May 29, 2016 News

Police are trying to track down two robbery suspects who escaped from the Providence Police Station around 04.05 hrs yesterday, while only two female ranks and a male colleague were on duty.

Sources identified the escapees as Kevin Rose, 19, of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara; and Shemar Moore, 20, of Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara.
Rose is said to be in custody for armed robbery, discharging a firearm, and possession of an unlicenced firearm. Moore was being held for armed robbery.
Kaieteur News understands that the prisoners escaped via a hole they made in one of the walls of the lockups.
At the time, a female lance corporal, a female detective constable, and one of their male colleagues were the only ranks at the station.
According to reports, one of the female ranks heard a strange noise in the vicinity of the lockups at the time of the escape.
On checking, she reportedly saw Rose exiting a hole in wall of the lockups. Shemar Moore, the other prisoner, reportedly then emerged and pushed the policewoman to the ground before he and Rose fled from the compound.
It is unclear whether the ranks have been placed under close arrest.
In July, 2009, Health Ministry arson suspects Kurt Thierens called, ‘Bage’ or ‘Glasses’, and Colin Jones, called “Bonny”, escaped from the Providence Police Station lockups, under circumstances that are still unclear.
A female police Lance Corporal was charged for negligently causing their escape. The charges were subsequently dismissed.
