Man tries to hide behind stacks of bread to evade police

Jul 08, 2021 News

Kaieteur News – In an attempt to evade police, a baker (George, only name provided) decided to seek refuge in a bakery establishment – Aubrey’s Café and Bakery also known as Federal Bakery, located at Lot 120 Peter Rose Street, Queenstown, Georgetown – where he is employed.
The man’s attempt, which was captured by someone using a cellular phone, was however foiled by vigilant police ranks.
In the video of the dramatic chase that was circulated on social media, two police ranks wearing helmets are seen running into the bakery in an attempt to apprehend the baker.
At first, one of the ranks was able to apprehend the man who was able to free himself from the rank’s grip and make a dash for it. The man was seen navigating stacks of bread in order to conceal himself from the ranks. He was eventually arrested.
But some of the employees did not take the situation lightly and were seen leaving their workstations to inquiry about the offence their colleague had committed to warrant the drama that unfolded.
George was heard complaining that the officers were wrongfully arresting him and insisted too that he did nothing wrong. “Bai me ain’t do nothing budday. Jus suh these man come and deh harassing me,” said George as he was being led out of the bakery by the ranks.
The man continued to lament that the ranks were wrongfully arresting him. When asked where they were taking the baker, the ranks informed that they were taking him to a police station.
At this juncture, the man made another failed attempt at escaping. An officer who held firmly to George’s neck, instructed him to not resist arrest.
According to one of the ranks, George was being arrested because they had witnessed him using the road in a dangerous manner. They related that he was seen riding (presumably a motorcycle) in the wrong direction on a one-way thoroughfare after exiting a gas station. The ranks noted too that after seeing them, he “jumped” multiple stop signs before returning to his workplace. Upon arrival there, they said that he ran into the building, causing them to pursue him.
