Armed men terrorise, rob poultry farm owner

– cart off cash, motor car

The owner of the Lalbeharry Poultry Farm, Craig, East Bank Demerara (EBD) is now counting her losses after bandits stormed her establishment and carted off a quantity of cash, along with her son’s motor car.
The victim, Patsy Lalbeharry, called Lalita, of Buzz-Bee-Dam, Craig, is still left in shock following the daring robbery, which occurred about 04:14h on Thursday.
When contacted, Lalbeharry’s son, Deonauth, explained that his mother resided with him and another son in the two-storey structure. On the morning of the robbery, Deonauth explained that he was awakened by the sound of a “loud

explosion”.
“I start thinking it is some electrical problem, but then I heard my mother pleading and saying ‘Oh God, don’t kill me!’” the man recalled. At that time, he said three men barged into his room, armed with handguns.
Guyana Times understands that the bandits kicked open the door leading to the businesswoman’s bedroom after which they made their way to the two sons’ rooms. The armed men threatened the trio, demanding that they turn over their “cash and gold”.
Fearful for her life and her sons’, the 56-year-old woman immediately complied and the men escaped with one of her son’s motor car – a silver grey Toyota Premio, PTT 502.
Law enforcement ranks were immediately contacted and checks at the home revealed that the bandits might have been hiding in the house for quite some time.
“We found cigarette ash in the lower flat and it appears as though the men were in the house and waiting for someone to come downstairs,” Deonauth noted.
This is the first time the family has been robbed at their home, but back in 2017, the family suffered significant losses following a burglary committed on their business located on the public road.
Meanwhile, the Police have dusted the crime scene for fingerprints as they continue their investigations. No arrests were made.
