Home News Essequibo pensioner robbed of XR motorcycle during home invasion
A 67-year-old pensioner of Huis’t Dieren, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), was in the wee hours of Saturday robbed during a home invasion by two armed men. The man was relieved of one XR red and black motorcycle bearing registration CK 8430, $300,000 in cash, one cell phone and a wrist watch.
Police investigations revealed that at about 19:00h on Friday evening, the victim secured his home and retired to bed, leaving his motorcycle in the kitchen area and a hand bag with the cash on a chair.
At about 03:00h the next morning, he reportedly felt someone choking him and a knife being placed to his neck. His hands were subsequently bounded with a piece of wire.
The suspects began cuffing the pensioner about his abdomen after which they placed him to sit on his bed where they took off his wristwatch. They then ransacked the home for more valuables.
The perpetrators reportedly collected the mobile phone that was on a table and the bag containing the money along with the motorcycle and made good their escape.
Police further stated that the victim then jumped his fence and was untied by his neighbour who took him to the Suddie Hospital where he was treated and sent away. A report was subsequently made to the Police and an investigation was launched. No arrests were made.
