Following two break-ins at his Ozama Street, North Ruimveldt home, including one that saw put up a fight with an intruder who was armed with an ice pick, Vice-Chairman of Demerara Harbour Bridge Board Joseph Holder is now living in fear.
Holder, 80, told Stabroek News yesterday that the pre-dawn break-ins occurred on Tuesday and Thursday and although reports were made to the police, they are yet to visit.
Holder, who lives at the property with his wife, related that on the first occasion, Tuesday around 4.30 am, he was about to head into bed when he noticed his front windows opened and items around the upper flat of the home rearranged. That was when he realized that someone had been in the home.
