Let me add that a relative was visiting Canada and had her home cleaned out when she returned from her vacation.

Funny, she was boasting about AFC's law and order and anti corruption mantra during the election campaign. She recently posted on Facebook that Guyana is no longer a safe place since the AFC/PNC took over.

I politely reminded her that is it called Karma, she got conned and voted for the AFC and received a harsh payback. Karma never fails. Indos did not know how safe they were until the AFC/PNC donkeys and crooks showed up.

She has since expressed regret and admitted being conned.

Another relative planted huge amounts of rice in Berbice and was slo conned by the AFC. He has since sold everything and quietly moved back the Canada since the rice industry collapsed. I remembered him about Moses offering the highest price for rice to them and in the end, Granger threw Indos under the bus and these AFC/PNC idiots did nothing to secure markets to assist suffering farmers.

These AFC/PNC idiots will be kicked out unless they rig the next election. Blacks, Mixed and Natives are now feeling the BIG SQUEEZE as the economy collapses.

They are all paying for allowing themselves to be conned by the AFC.

This is just the beginning. Take a look at this thread and see for yourself who are the main victims of crime since the AFC/PNC took over.

Where is loudmouth Joey ? The AFC/PNC crooks are looting and he cannot say shyte about it. He is another Indo jackass. PNC will kick them to the curb.

Guard shot in foiled midnight heist outside bank

Oct 03, 2016 News 0 Comments

Police stepped up the hunt today for two gunmen who shot a Professional Guard Service rank during a foiled heist just before midnight outside the Demerara Bank Limited in Camp Street.
Security guard Michael De Clou was shot at least twice in the buttocks by one of the shotgun-toting men after he refused to hand over a bag of cash that the PGS ranks were preparing to deposit at the bank.
The gunmen, who arrived at the scene in a car, were forced to retreat empty-handed after the wounded guard returned fire.
From all appearances, the PGS team, who were travelling in a security van, was trailed to the bank after picking up cash deposits from two Royal Castle outlets in Sheriff Street and South Ruimveldt.
Kaieteur News understands that De Clou had exited the van outside the bank with a money bag, when he observed that a car had stopped behind the PGS vehicle.
Seconds later, two men, including one with a shotgun, exited the car and ordered De Clou to “hand over the money.”
Instead, the quick-thinking guard tossed the sack of cash back into the PGS van. The robber with the shotgun then shot De Clou, who responded with gunfire of his own, which forced the gunmen to retreat.
De Clou was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and was still receiving treatment in the hospital’s Accident and Emergency Unit at press time.
He was visited by some of his colleagues and also by his employer, Mr. Sean Kirkpatrick.
The attack is believed to have been recorded on security cameras at the scene.

Maybe this is the reason for all the crime we see. The coalition brayed that they would clean up criminal activities but we see it continue unabated, especially against Indian victims.

Thieves strike in Subryanville

– 2 in custody

Thieves stormed a Subryanville, Georgetown home early Tuesday morning, leaving the family traumatised.
This newspaper was told that about 03:30h on Tuesday, four men exited a yellow Toyota Raum and broke in to the Lot 62 Fourth Avenue and Church Road home of 43-year-old cattle farmer Ryad Bacchus and his family.

Brazen thieves broke into a Subryanville home on Tuesday

Bacchus explained that the family was asleep at time the bandits broke through a section of their home, and then made off with a number of valuable household items.
According to Bacchus, he awoke about 04:00h for his usual morning prayers and it was then his wife noticed items missing from the home.
“At about 4 o’clock we woke up and my wife discovered the television missing; she went downstairs and saw the board from the bottom of the house [ripped] out,” Bacchus noted.
He also told this publication that he then made repeated calls to the 911 number, but all proved futile. As such, he proceeded to the Kitty Police Station. “I jumped in the car and went to Kitty Police Station and wake up de Police them,” he related.
Meanwhile, late Tuesday afternoon, Guyana Times was informed that the Police have captured two men with a water pump and vacuum belonging to Bacchus.
This newspaper was told that the men are being held at the West Ruimveldt Police Station.
On Thursday, a Herstelling, East Bank Demerara man was briefly hospitalised after he was beaten by several armed men posing as Police Officers. The bandits made off with jewellery and an undisclosed amount of cash. This follows over 20 robberies in the Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara area over the last week. Police investigations are continuing.

Apparently there is a parallel criminal society in Guyana where guns are the norm and police are impotent.

How are people allowed to discharge fire arms in gun salute while police look on helplessly? Do they have licences for these weapons are are just another criminal network condoned by the Granger administration?

NINETEEN-year-old Ryan ‘Harry’ Sargeant, who was gunned down outside the Rio nightclub, was laid to rest yesterday at Le Repentir Cemetery amidst a large gathering of mourners, some of whom discharged rapid gunshots in the air, bidding him farewell.Hundreds of people, some arriving in cars and on motorcycles, created a huge build-up of vehicular traffic; and although armed police ranks were strategically placed at the burial site, mourners, who outnumbered the lawmen, managed to discharge many shots in the air. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The large gathering, which consisted of relatives, friends and others, was accompanied by music of the likes of Alkaline, while many openly indulged in various alcoholic beverages. The scene resembled that of a ‘party’, while loud cries could be heard in Le Repentir Cemetery; and it was hours before the crowd dispersed and the police left the area.

Following the shooting which claimed the life of the teenager and injured another man on September 26, six persons were taken into custody, but they were all subsequently released.
Sleuths managed to identify the shooters from video footage obtained from Rio and surrounding businesses.
