The bag filled with stolen tools.

Speaking with Kaieteur News, one of the residents said that the man was seen breaking into the property at around 09:20hrs by a neighbour. “The house is almost finished just to paint, the workers didn’t come to work today (Tuesday) but like they had locked up all their tools inside”, the resident said.

An alert neighbour saw the man crawling through a window and when he realised that it was a “thief man” he alerted other residents of Falcon Drive and they quietly surrounded the property while the thief was busy packing up a bag with the tools.

When he realised that he was caught, the man reportedly decided to run but he was not quick enough and was cornered at a culvert. “We captured him and all he told us was that he was from the west bank side” recalled the resident. The man reportedly admitted to them that he was indeed stealing and the police took him into custody along with all the items he had stuffed into the bag. Investigations are ongoing.
