Two cars stolen within a week at Belle West
Kaieteur News- Two men are counting their losses after their vehicles were stolen in separate incidents, days apart in Belle West, Number Two Canal, West Bank Demerara.

During an interview with this publication, Prince said his car contained music equipment worth an additional $180,000.
He explained that a cousin had parked the vehicle overnight in Belle West while visiting someone. However, when he woke up and made checks for the vehicle, he discovered that it was missing.
Surveillance footage from the Demerara Harbour Bridge showed the stolen car crossing the bridge, heading to the East Bank Demerara (EBD) direction around 02:00h on Thursday.
Prince stressed, “(Its) hard because that’s the vehicle that actually brings in money for me, I does actually rent (use it for business) and what’s not.”
Meanwhile, a week earlier, on April 10, 23-year-old Hermant Ramrattan also discovered that a car he had rented was stolen from directly in front of his home in Belle West.
The theft took place between 20:30h on Thursday and 05:30h on Friday. The vehicle, valued at $1 million, contained Ramrattan’s driver licence, identification (ID) card, and two bank cards.
