Over $1M in items were stolen from the home of a Port Mourant family on Friday.
At the time of the theft, neither Yashadeo Bheemsingh, 23, of Lot 370 Ankerville, Port Mourant, nor her husband was at home.
Bheemsingh had left the country and her mother, Savitri Devi Rameshwar, 47, also of Ankerville Port Mourant, said she would usually go to tidy up the house in her daughter’s absence.
On Friday, around 8.45pm, a next door neighbour phoned Rameshwar to inform her that the light underneath the house, which was usually on, was off. Rameshwar said she assumed that the bulb had gone out but the neighbour then informed her that someone was using a torchlight in the kitchen.
Rameshwar related that she then visited her daughter’s home and upon checking noticed that the front door was broken. After entering, Rameshwar discovered that the bottom flat of the two-storey home was ransacked. The burglar/s escaped with a 32-inch television set, a DVD player, a quantity of clothing valued at $100,000, a quantity of cosmetics, valued at $20,000 and a quantity of jewellery.
According to Rameshwar, among the stolen items were her daughter’s wedding jewellery, “That is what feel she more, all she thing them she wore for she wedding them gone with, all she diamond things them,” she said. “She left to go on holiday but she had to come in the country after her grandfather passed, so she was staying by me with her husband. So, she lose all she thing them and she lose she grandfather,” Rameshwar added.
