Bandits last Saturday decided to ‘upgrade’ and stole a newly-purchased motorcycle from the yard of a Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice man leaving their bicycle behind and police have detained several persons as investigations continue.
Faizul Yusuf of 8 B Bush Lot told Stabroek News that the bandits apparently struck around 3-5 am on Saturday and had come on a bicycle and left it behind. He said that the bandits stole his Jialing 150 cc motorcycle that he had just purchased on Thursday along with two vehicle batteries. Police have since detained several persons including the owner of the bicycle, who has since been released on bail as he claimed that the bicycle had been stolen.
Yusuf said that even though lights were on under the two-story home and there were working streetlights in the area, the bandits were still bold enough to enter the yard. He said that the bandits also attempted to break open a lock on his brother’s motorcycle but were unsuccessful and disconnected some wires on that motorbike.
The matter is engaging the attention of the Fort Wellington Police.
