Two burglars during the wee hours of Tuesday morning broke into a Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice grocery and carted off close to $500,000 worth of items.
The proprietor of the grocery and parlour, Bisham Sarju, 60, explained to Stabroek News, that he has been renting the lower flat of the building at Lot 14, New Street, Cumberland Village, East Canje for the past 13 years to operate his business. He said that he does not reside at the said location and the upper flat of the building has been vacant for a few months now since the landlord migrated.
