Police nab duo stealing from grocery shop
Residents continue to heap praise on Commander of Police ‘B’ Division Assistant Commissioner, Ian Amsterdam, and his ranks after two men were nabbed in the process of stealing from a business place in the East Canje area.
Ranks of the Reliance Police Station who were on foot patrol around 01:00 hrs in East Canje area noticed shadowy figures in a yard that houses a grocery store. The men were in the process of removing beverages from the Adelphi Village premises.
The ranks immediately approached the location causing the men to abandon their loot and try to escape. A chase ensued, with the intended intruders jumping the back fence in their quest to escape, but the cops were equal to the task and nabbed the men.
The two thieves, who are notorious in the area, are well known to the police and are frequently in and out of jail for various offences. One of the suspects, Hardat Dial, called “Harro”, was only released from jail on Thursday on a number of charges after the victims repeatedly failed to turn up. The other man is Alvin Samaroo called “Killer”.
The men had already removed eight cases of Canada Dry drink, four cases of two-litre Pepsi and one case of two-litre Busta grape drink. According to information, the men were stretching their hands through grills on the window and removing the drinks one by one. Some empty cases were found nearby.
