Thieves rob pensioner of sheep

A De Kinderen, West Coast Demerara (WCD) pensioner is left counting her losses after she was robbed of the source of her livelihood – several sheep on Monday night.
The 67-year-old woman made the startling discovery on Tuesday morning when she attempted to attend to her sheep that were secured in a pen in her backyard.
According to the woman, at about 18:00hrs she secured the sheep but retired to bed just before midnight. However, the following morning she journeyed to the back of her house to take her sheep to graze but noticed that the door to the pen was opened.
The woman told Guyana Times that she quickly inspected and found all of her sheep missing.
“I was left dumbstruck and I immediately became frightened because I live alone and what if whoever came in here had attacked me?” the frightened woman questioned.
“I think is somebody who know me came in here and steal my sheep…this is all I have, I dedicate my life to this, spend my last dollar behind them and now all of them gone, who would do something like that to an old woman like me?” the woman cried.
The woman’s neighbour said that at about 02:00hrs she heard a commotion and the sheep making noise. The woman revealed that she inspected but saw nothing and as such, she returned to bed.
The woman lamented her anger over the situation and called on the Police to assist the elderly woman and to properly investigate the matter.
“Is sheep, is not like they will be hard to find because it has to be somebody right around here that had the guts to do this because they know that this old lady lives alone,” the neighbour said.
A report was made at the Leonora Police Station and the Police is said to be investigating.
