Two vehicles torched in Kitty
Robin “Boots” Bharat is counting his losses after waking up to find two of his vehicles on fire outside of his Lot 20 Owen Street, Kitty residence in the wee hours of Friday morning.
Screen shots of CCTV footage which shows the men pouring flammable substance on the vehicles, and when the vehicles were on fire.
The businessman said about 02:50 hours, he was awakened by sounds similar to small explosions, and upon venturing out, he noticed two vehicles that belonged to him on fire – one was a Nissan X-Trail and the other a Toyota Tacoma. Bharat immediately raised an alarm and with the help of neighbours were able to bring the two vehicles that were ablaze under control. The Guyana Fire Service responded sometime after.
The businessman was at a loss as to why anyone would want to do such a thing. Viewing CCTV footage of what exactly transpired, he was shocked to see three men pouring a substance on his vehicles and then igniting them.
From the video footage reviewed, the perpetrators’ faces were not visible, since two of them wore jackets with hoodies and the third, seemed to have a shirt over his head and face.
The Tacoma was completely destroyed while the X-Trail’s back bumper and most of the vehicle were barely scorched. The Guyana Fire Service and Guyana Police Force have since begun investigations.
