Motorcyclist robbed of cycle, cash and other valuables

– crime captured on CCTV camera

Although a young motorcyclist was assaulted before being robbed of his motorcycle during a daring daylight robbery on Campbell Avenue, Campbellville, on Friday, he is yet to make a report to the police.

This is according to Commander of Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) Sub-Division A (Georgetown), Edgar Thomas, who told Guyana Times on Sunday that his ranks were made aware of the crime via a social media post and other news entities.
However, he noted that while some details of the crime were captured on CCTV cameras and footage is being circulated on Facebook, the robbery victim has not come forward to lodge his report or request the assistance of the police.
“This is a very interesting case, yes, I saw a video but that is all. The fact of the matter is that it has not been reported to any one of my police stations, and we are interested to know that person, if he can share some information with the police. The video is there, I saw it, and we would like to know what transpired there.”
The CCTV footage shows three unmasked men approaching the motorcyclist as the young man was about to start it. One of them was on a bicycle while another grabbed the neck of the motorcyclist from behind and pulled him off.
The victim struggled in resistance against the assault but was eventually pinned to the ground by the suspect.
Two of the bandits then raided the pockets of his pants and relieved him of cash and other valuables. In the process, the third bandit jumped onto the young man’s motorcycle and as he was riding off the scene, one of his accomplices joined him while the other ran away, leaving their pedal cycle behind.
