A thief was captured hiding in a woman’s bedroom yesterday, minutes after he grabbed a chain from a man in Bourda market, Georgetown. This occurred around 14:15 hrs yesterday.
The suspect has given his name as Gonsalves also known as “White boy.”
According to information received, the suspect grabbed a man’s chain in Bourda market and ran through an alleyway and managed to sneak into a woman’s bedroom through an open window at a house at Robb and Light Streets, Georgetown.
This newspaper was told that when the victim lost his chain, public-spirited persons gave chase.
A resident on Robb Street informed the group of men that she noticed a young man jumping through a window in the apartment beneath her.
“When we went in, the two women who live there said that no one was there, but as we were leaving one of them started screaming, and we run back and see the man in the bedroom,” a source said, while adding that the suspect was beaten by the angry mob.
Kaieteur News was told that when the suspect spotted the cops, he started screaming for them to rescue him from the group of men. He was eventually taken to the hospital where he remains a patient.
