Robbery suspects nabbed at Wismar Bridge with firearms, loot

Moments after committing a robbery in West Watooka, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) on Saturday evening, the two suspects were intercepted at the Wismar Mackenzie Bridge.

The two men were identified as Eon Ward also called ‘Killa’ and Faisal Moore. At the time of their arrest two unlicensed 9mm pistols, several matching rounds of ammunition, a quantity of jewellery and several mobile phones were found in the motorcar they were driving.
Based on reports received, Claus Pearce, 38, a farmer from West Watooka was relieved of one gold chain valued at $636,000 and one Samsung Galaxy cellphone valued at $20,000 on Saturday evening at Middle Street, Silvertown in Wismar.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was liming at a shop when he heard the sound of a gun crank in front of him. As he looked up, he saw Moore pointing a handgun at him while Ward pushed what felt like a handgun to his abdomen and began to search him.

Moore allegedly grabbed the gold chain from his neck and relieved him of his cell phone after which they fled the scene.

However, less than five minutes later, acting on information received, Police ranks on mobile patrol proceeded to the Wismar Mackenzie Bridge, where they intercepted one burgundy Axio car bearing registration number PAH 2346. Ward and Moore were the only occupants of the car.
As such, they were ordered to exit the vehicle, and a search was conducted on the vehicle during which two 9mm pistols – one had a magazine and four rounds of ammunition, and the other was carrying three rounds.
Further checks unearthed an extra clip – a magazine with another 26 live rounds of 9MM ammunition.

The suspects were taken to the Wismar Police Station where further checks were made on their person which led to the discovery of the gold chain and Samsung cell phone belonging to the victim were recovered.
