Silver-grey Toyota Premio PTT 502, stolen during a robbery at Craig, East Bank Demerara, was found stripped of its parts at Guyhoc Park, East Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
The car that was taken by bandits on Thursday last
At the time of the discovery, the car was carrying registration number PRR 8349, and its lights, front bumper, mirrors and other accessories were missing. The car was later confirmed to belong to Lalbeharry’s Poultry Farm at Buzz-Bee-Dam, Craig, East Bank Demerara, which was invaded on May 24 and robbed of over $6 million.
The vehicle was reportedly identified by several features installed by the owner’s son.
On May 24, at about 04:14h, four armed men invaded the head office of the poultry business at Craig, EBD. It was reported that on the morning of the robbery, one of the owners was awakened by the sound of a “loud explosion”. He thought it was electrical in nature, but soon heard his mother pleading for her life.
Within seconds, three armed men barged into his room and held him at gunpoint. Whist there, the bandits demanded money and gold.
Fearful for her life and that of her son’s, the 56-year-old businesswoman immediately complied with the bandits’ demands, handing over to the men a sum of cash and a quantity of jewellery. They then escaped with the motorcar.
It was later discovered that the bandits might have been holing up in the house for quite some time, since cigarette ash was found in the lower flat of the building.
Back in 2017, this family had suffered significant losses following a burglary committed on their Craig Public Road business. To date, no arrest has been made.
