The Guyana Police Force (GPF) had initially reported that Radar Security and Supplies’ office is located in the middle flat of a three-storey wooden building.
According to the police, there is an office to the western side, which has a wooden door to the eastern side, secured with a manufactured Yale lock. In the said office, there is a steel ‘strongbox’ where the security firm secures the firearms and ammunition. The strongbox is secured with two padlocks and inside the strongbox; the firearms are chained and padlocked with three padlocks.
It was reported that on Christmas Day, the firm’s Chief Security Officer, a 72-year-old from Guyhoc Park, checked the firearms and all were intact. Around 18:30 hours on Boxing Day, a 65-year-old Weapons Training Officer from Enterprise, East Coast Demerara (ECD), visited the location.
The police reported that the Weapons Training Officer observed that the door to the office was not secured, but rather it was left ajar. He then entered the office, where he observed that the padlocks on the strongbox were cut off, the chain that secured the firearms was also cut, and the firearms mentioned were missing.
However, two other shotguns were left in the strongbox.
The Weapons Training Officer then informed the owner of the security service a 49-year-old businessman of Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD). When detectives arrived on the scene, they observed that the padlocks and chain were indeed cut. The two shotguns were removed from the strongbox and lodged. The office was checked, but there were no signs of breakage.
