Police have nabbed a suspected carjacker known as ‘Bourda Rat’, who had repeatedly tried to claim ownership of a stolen car that police had impounded last year.
The suspect was arrested yesterday in Bourda, hours after police issued a release indicating he was wanted for questioning.
Police had previously arrested the same man and two others on November 27, 2017, in connection with a robbery in Georgetown.
Police had impounded the car in which the suspects were travelling, but were unaware that it was a stolen vehicle.
“They were charged and subsequently freed after their victims refused to give evidence against them,” police said.
Meanwhile, even though he was unable to prove ownership, police said that the suspect known as ‘Bourda Rat’ made several attempts to uplift the car, which was impounded at the Brickdam Police Station.
Yesterday, the owner of the vehicle turned up. Police were able to identify the vehicle as one that was stolen on June 6, 2017 from a Roxanne Burnham resident.
‘Bourda Rat’ was arrested hours later. They are preparing to put him on an identification parade.
Later yesterday, a team of detectives seized another car that is suspected to have been stolen, while detaining a taxi driver who is a suspect in several criminal matters.
Police said that the registration appears non-existent; more so, the silver Toyota Premio engine number, A392329 is not stated on the registration.”
“The 27-year-old suspect, who is a taxi driver wanted for questioning in relation to several serious crimes, is co-operating with investigators.”
