Police ranks investigating a robbery under arms committed on a 48-year-old Roxanne Burnham Gardens man of his motorcar, (a Toyota Allion HD 514) and several other articles, which occurred at Dookie Sand Road, Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara on 2022-08-23, have recovered the said motorcar along with several other stolen vehicles and a 9MM pistol.

The ranks, who were acting on information received about 09:00 hrs today, went to the home of the 26-year-old suspect at Kuru Kuru Soesdyke-Linden Highway where a search was conducted and the 9MM pistol along with several car lights and bumpers were found on the premises.

The 26-year-old suspect subsequently took the ranks to a location in St. Cuthbert’s Mission where the motorcar (HD 514) along with another vehicle (PSS 1871) that was reportedly stolen sometime between August 13-14, 2022 from Supply Public Road, EBD, were recovered.

The engine along with the front suspension and other parts were missing from the latter.

While the ranks were exiting St. Cuthbert’s Mission, two men – a 30-year-old of Kuru Kuru and a 29-year-old of Linden – who were driving along the main road were stopped and questioned and claimed that they were going to St. Cuthbert’s Mission. They were both also arrested and taken into custody while the car was lodged.

Based on further information received at the station, a search was conducted at an area at Long Creek and five (5) motorcars that were stripped were found in a valley.

Further investigations are ongoing.
