Investigators are probing a break and enter and larceny committed at the D’Urban Backlands home of former President, David Granger during which a number of electronic items were stolen.
Director of the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Corporate Communications Unit, Mark Ramotar yesterday confirmed that the incident occurred sometime between 18.45hrs last Sunday and 5.45hrs Monday.
According to a police report, enquiries revealed that on Sunday evening, a security guard and handyman, who work at the residence, secured the premises and went home.
The following morning, they returned and discovered a door to the building was open and the lock was on the ground.
One of the men then began to make checks and discovered that a 52-inch television was missing.
As a result, the police said he contacted Granger who journeyed to the scene and discovered that a number of other items were also missing.
They include a Lasko stand fan, four laptop computers, one HP printer and a barber set. The items are worth close to $500,000.
The police were alerted and an investigation was launched.
It is suspected that the bandit/s gained entry into the house through a northern door.
