2 charged for harbouring alleged bandit

Two persons accused of harbouring a wanted individual appeared in Court 10 of the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, on Tuesday morning.
It is alleged that Duem Segure and Naioe Nouckchand on February 11, 2017 on the West Bank of Demerara, attempted to pervert the course of justice by harbouring Dand Singh, an individual wanted by Police in connection with a charge of robbery.
Bail was granted in the sum of ,000 each to the accused and they were ordered to return to court on June 29.
This publication previously reported that ranks of the Guyana Police Force had captured a man who was wanted in connection with several armed robberies at Bagotville, West Bank Demerara, in late February. The 24-year-old male was reportedly hiding out at a house in David Rose Street, Bagotville, when Police acting on information arrested him.
However, the suspect did not go with law enforcement officers peacefully and allegedly assaulted ranks as he was being escorted to the waiting Police vehicle. According to media reports, Singh was shot to the right knee when he attempted to disarm a rank of his service weapon and the said rank “discharged a round” during the process. An investigation was launched into the shooting incident and the suspect was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where he remained under Police guard while nursing a single gunshot wound to his right leg.
