4 men charged, remanded for series of armed robberies on Corentyne

Four men have been arrested, charged, and remanded to prison in connection with a series of armed robberies in the Corentyne, Berbice area.
The arrests followed an intelligence-led police operation conducted by detectives from Regional Division #6 (East Berbice-Corentyne) on Wednesday.
The accused have been identified as Jousha Beharry, also known as “Funkout,” a 24-year-old labourer from Hampshire Squatting Area; Nathanel Latchmna, known as “Nate,” a 20-year-old labourer from Lot 1 ‘A’ Hampshire; Sahil Hardin, called “Paper,” a 24-year-old porter from Lot 8 Nigg Road; and Bryan Sundatt, also known as “Adjai,” an 18-year-old labourer from Port Mourant.
On Friday, the four suspects were charged with Robbery Under Arms committed against a female victim on January 28, 2025, at Tain, Corentyne, Berbice. The charge was laid under Section 222(c) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01 of the Laws of Guyana.

They appeared before Magistrate Tuanna Hardy at the Whim Magistrate’s Court, where they were not required to enter a plea. All four accused were remanded to prison, and their case was adjourned to February 28.
Further investigations linked three of the accused—Beharry, Latchmna, and Sundatt—to another armed robbery that occurred on January 22, 2025, at Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, Berbice.
They were charged again under Section 222(c) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01, and appeared before Magistrate Michelle Mathias at the Albion Magistrate’s Court on Friday, where they were not required to plead.
The trio were once again remanded to prison, with this matter also adjourned to February 28.
In addition to these charges, Beharry faced two additional counts of Robbery Under Arms. The first charge stemmed from a robbery committed against a 39-year-old self-employed woman from Nigg Village, Corentyne, where he allegedly stole $300,000 in cash and other valuables, amounting to a total value of $1,550,000.
He again appeared at the Albion Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Michelle Mathias, where he was not required to enter a plea. He was remanded to prison, and this case was postponed to February 4, for report.
Beharry was also charged with robbing a 31-year-old domestic worker from Fyrish Long Dam, Corentyne. In this incident, he allegedly stole $15,000 in cash and a mobile phone valued at $41,000. He was again brought before Magistrate Mathias at the Albion Magistrate’s Court, where he was not required to plead. He was remanded to prison, with this case also set for a report on February 4.
The arrests and subsequent charges mark a significant breakthrough in tackling the recent surge in armed robberies across Corentyne. Police investigations remain ongoing, with authorities working to determine whether the accused are linked to additional crimes in the region.
