Wales police nab suspected gas bottle thief

Police on Friday apprehended a man suspected of pouncing with an accomplice on the People’s Supermarket at Wales, West Bank Demerara late on Thursday night, and making off with two cooking gas cylinders.

Guyana Times was told that one of the robbery suspects was identified by tattoo markings on a section of his body.

The cylinder thieves fled the scene on Thursday night, but when the now apprehended man returned to the scene on Friday, allegedly to perpetrate another robbery on the establishment, he was captured by persons in the area and reportedly administered a sound thrashing before being handed over to the police at Wales.

This male suspect is reportedly in police custody, and will be arraigned in court this week.
