The Calibro Band’s musical equipment which disappeared in a taxi after an injured band member was dropped off at the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital following an accident, was successfully recovered yesterday, according to Band member Leon ‘Supercat’ Dundas.
Dundas informed the Stabroek News that around 2:30 pm he received a call from the police, requesting that he visit a home, which turned out to be the home of the driver’s mother, situated in the Mahaicony area. Dundas explained that when he got to the home, he was shown an incomplete set of musical and band instruments which he was able to identify positively as that of the band’s. The taxi driver was then contacted, via telephone, and in the presence of the police he gave his mother specific directions on the whereabouts of the remaining equipment, all of which were located in another home in the said area. The driver, according to Dundas, claimed that he is in the interior. Dundas then informed this newspaper that he further advised the police not to proceed with investigating the matter as all of the equipment was recovered.
