According to a police report, a thirty-three-year-old man who is said to be a mason of Tuschen, New Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo secured his home, leaving everything intact and retired to bed.
Around 04:00hrs, the man woke up and noticed the suspected bandit in a bending position in a corner, about two feet away from his bed. At that time, the individual was holding a haversack which was later discovered to have one electric saw valued $30,000, one angle grinder valued $10,000, and one electric drill valued $9,000. The haversack with the stolen items belongs to the victim, and was valued at $2,500.
