A Williamsburg, Corentyne family is now living in fear after bandits attacked their premises earlier this month injuring the owner of the house and leaving the family of three in a state of fright.
Geeta Ramlochan, 34, of Lot 10 G King Street, Williamsburg explained that the incident happened around 1.30 am on June 6th.
According to the woman, she along with her husband, Rameshchand Lutchana, 58, and their disabled daughter, 16, were fast asleep when her husband heard dogs barking.
Upon looking out their front window, Lutchana saw three men dressed in clothing with hoods attempting to enter his yard. “Two guys run and jump over the gate and he (her husband) start holler out for ‘thief, thief!’”
She said that the neighbours were aroused and the bandits had to abort the attempt to enter their premises, “Them take bricks pelt and hit the window and hit my husband.”
She added, “By time I run in the brick done hit he and he start bleeding so bad.”
The woman’s brother-in-law who resides in the area eventually responded and rushed Lutchana to the hospital. On the way, they stopped at the Rose Hall Police Station to file a police report as they were unable to contact them via the phone. However, “the gate did lock but a police lady come out and give me husband a medical… None of them went with him or come and check with us to see what happened.”
Stabroek News was told that the following day police took a statement from the couple. “And them tell we if we know is who let we call them.’
Lutchana received eight stitches at the Port Mourant Hospital for his wound.
His wife yesterday relayed that the family including their daughter were living in fear.
“After that every night we cannot sleep, we’re living in fear. We can’t sleep. We hear a noise and we get scared. Anything we waking up.”
The woman is pleading with the authorities to have increased patrols within her area to offer them some peace of mind. “We need more protection in the area. This never happened before… We had kitchen thieves but nothing like this”, she said.
