An alert security guard yesterday foiled an early morning attempt by bandits to break into a money-safe at the KFC outlet at Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara.
According to reports, the guard was in a hut near the southern side of the building around 03:00 hrs, when he saw a man standing under a shed near the outlet.
On being questioned by the guard, the man claimed that he was sheltering from the rain, which was pouring at the time.
However, the guard became suspicious when he observed that the man’s clothes were dry. He then came out of his security hut and ordered the man to leave.
Kaieteur News was told that another man then rushed up to the guard and struck him on the head with a handgun and relieved the injured man of his cell phone. The guard’s screams alerted nearby residents, who began to switch on their lights.
The robbers, joined by two other men who had already broken into the building, then fled in a waiting car.
When police ranks visited the scene, they observed a shattered window at the northern side of the building. Further checks revealed that the intruders had attempted to open a safe in the building.
Kaieteur News understands that images of the intruders were recorded by surveillance cameras on the premises. However, police were unable to identify the burglars because of the poor quality of the images.
