Burglars cart off $100,000 in cash and items
By Javone Vickerie
An Agricola family returned home from Georgetown, yesterday to find that they had been robbed of their cash and electronics.
Shavane Sullivan was returning home with her husband, Bevan, her child and her mother around 16:30 hours when they met the doors to the house open.
“Somebody stopped us at the corner and told me that they had a break and entry. When we turned the corner we saw police at the house with the doors opened,” the woman said.
She added that when she and family came into the house, all three of the bedrooms were ransacked. “They tumbled out everything from the bedrooms,” the woman lamented.
The woman told this publication that upon investigation, a number of items including two laptops, a Magic Jack device, and currency were all missing.
Cheryl Bourne who resides at the Lot 60 Evans Phillips Park, Agricola, said that although she felt sad about losing the items, she thanked God that no one was at home during the robbery.
Bourne added that she was at a Vacation Bible School (VBS) and picked up her daughter, Son-in-law and granddaughter when she received the news that her house was broken into.
Bourne added that the family left the home around 8:15 am yesterday.
Bourne told Kaieteur News that the men broke in from the louvered window above her toilet. The visibly distressed woman said that her home was never broken into before.
“Everybody knows who did this robbery but they are afraid to come forward. They know the people, the name and everything but no one will talk”, Bourne said.
Bourne’s ‘daughter, who now resides with her husband and child in Antigua, said, “I feel insecure about this whole thing. Before we came here we read a number of articles about the different robberies and we were skeptical about coming here.”
Shavane Sullivan said that they were to travel to Dominica but that they decided to spend their vacation in Guyana because they had not seen their relatives in a while.
