Ramona Jagbar, a 32-year-old teacher who lives at Back Street, La Jalousie, West Coast Demerara (WCD), has had her home burglarised by persons unknown.
Guyana Times understands that Jagbar was at her regular evening classes on Thursday when, at about 18:35h, she received a telephone call from a neighbour informing her that her home had been broken into; and she immediately
rushed home, only to find her front window had been broken.
But as she entered her home, she observed that the house had been ransacked, and several pieces of electronic and household items had gone missing. The incident has been reported at the Leonora Police Station.
At the time of the robbery, Jagbar was not occupying the house, since it is under construction.

Contacted on Saturday, the young teacher called on the Police to conduct a thorough investigation, while pleading with residents to be on the lookout for persons who might be selling household items.
According to this young teacher, who said she has spent most of her life’s savings building her home,
“The pain I am feeling at this moment is beyond words. To watch the empty house with all that I sweat for gone is depressing…I recently started building my house in La Jalousie. Every month, I sacrifice my wants and needs just to save up to buy the materials to complete my house from a small teacher’s salary.”
Jagbar, who is currently reading for her Master’s Degree in Education Administration and Leadership while teaching, has estimated her losses to be around $2.5 million.
