– Escape with US$5000, personal documents
A US-based Guyanese lost US$5000 and personal documents after thieves in a Nissan Bluebird followed him to a business place in Saffon Street, Charlestown around 10:40 hrs yesterday, and broke into his car.
In less than five minutes, the thieves broke the lock on the driver’s side of Balchandra Hardowar’s Toyota 212 and his trunk and escaped with a bag containing documents including his US driver’s licence and land title.
It is believed that the thieves followed the overseas-based Guyanese from a city bank, where he went to make a deposit.
Surveillance footage showed the car trailing Hardowar and when he parked on Saffon Street, the occupants waited on their victim to leave his vehicle after which two men quickly went to the man’s vehicle and broke the lock.
Anyone with information can contact the Ruimveldt Police Station.
