Three men are assisting Police ranks in their investigations following the discovery of several stripped cars along the Soesdyke/ Linden Highway on Wednesday.
Based on reports received, the Police were investigating an armed robbery committed on a 48-year-old resident of Roxanne Burnham Gardens in Georgetown, who had Toyota Allion motorcar HD 514 taken away from them in the vicinity of Deokie Sand Road at Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara on Tuesday. Acting on information received, ranks went to the home of a 26-year-old suspect at Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, and conducted a search that unearthed a 9MM pistol and several car lights and bumpers on the premises.
After interrogation, the 26-year-old suspect took the ranks to a location in St. Cuthbert’s Mission, where stolen motorcar HD 514 and another vehicle, PSS 1871, which was also reported stolen earlier in the month, were found. The engine, front suspension and other parts were missing from PSS 1871.
In the process of conducting their investigations, ranks stopped two other men, a 30-year-old of Kuru Kuru and a 29-year-old of Linden, who were driving along the main access road to St Cuthbert’s Mission, and upon being questioned, they claimed they were heading into the mission.
These men were arrested, and the car in which they were travelling was lodged.
Based on information received at the station, ranks conducted a search in an area of Long Creek on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway and discovered several stripped cars in a valley.
Further investigations are ongoing.
