Swift Police action leads to hijacked car being recovered
Swift response by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) led to the recovery of a motor vehicle that was hijacked from East Street, Georgetown, on Sunday.
While details on the hijacking remain sketchy, Guyana Times was informed that a purple 212 motor car, with licence plate number PMM 8381 was stolen around 03:30h on Sunday.
The car that Police recovered abandoned in the D’Urban Backlands area
Shortly after the car was stolen, it was posted on social media and the Police were informed and immediately went in search of the vehicle.
Persons were also seen on Facebook, tracking the vehicle and informing the owners of when it had passed their homes.
The last post on social media stated that the car was spotted passing the village of Supply, on the East Bank of Demerara, with a changed number plate. This was around 16:00h.
Sometime later, the ranks of the Guyana Police Force managed to recover the vehicle that was abandoned at the D’Urban Backlands, Georgetown area. It is still unclear if anyone was arrested in relation to the carjacking.
This is the second carjacking incident that has occurred in a matter of two days. On Friday, an Allion motor car bearing registration number PSS 1403 was stolen between 01:00 and 03:00h at Mahaicony, ECD.
The car was last seen at Red Road, Sophia, Greater Georgetown, on Friday evening after the owner alerted persons that the car was stolen. (G9)
