Man caught on camera setting fire to businessman’s vehicles

Three vehicles belonging to a businessman of Betsy Ground, East Canje, Berbice (Region Six: East Berbice-Corentyne) have been set on fire.

The businessman Doodnauth Moses had parked his vehicles – a bus, car, and canter – on his premises and had proceeded to the upper flat of his home. However, at around 20:00h, he observed on one of his cameras that his motor vehicles were on fire.
As a result, he armed himself with his licensed firearms and ventured to the front of his yard, where he discharged four rounds from his shotgun and four rounds from his .32 pistol.
The New Amsterdam Fire Service responded, but the blaze was already extinguished.
CCTV footage showed a male walking out of an access street situated to the west of the premises, and he threw a substance on the vehicles and then lit them.
Police have since launched an investigation.
